Well this has ended up being a lot more interesting than I would have though in July.

It would be fitting if this becomes the year that Beane's A's finally break through in the playoffs.

That would be really hilarious, but I'm not banking on it. Hitters would need to go on fire.

i'm rooting for complete failure cause i'd find it hilarious that he actually went for it and failed and he'll spend the entire offseason with a big sad frown on his face

also i know i shouldn't value the end of the season over the rest of the season but they've just sucked so much it's hard to support them

Their offense was horrible but the pitching was so good that their run differential was around zero even when they were going 9-20. They didn't really suck, but the way they kept blowing games in the late innings made them look worse than they are.

Every time I see highlights of Jeff Samardzija pitching with that mullet and his windup in an A's uniform, it totally reminds me of Eck.

Beane: the trades were NOT made for the postseason. "The Angels were going to catch us."

Went to the coliseum for the bay bridge series finale yesterday. Nobody got hurt, thankfully. Zito had a 1-2-3 inning.
