i remember , pretending to be sick that day , i called my cousin to pick me up from school .. I went home and watched that game , chavey broke his postseason slump with a hr , and when scoot , cleared the bases with that double , in the bottom of the 7th or 8th , i knew we wer gonna win , the A's had such a good year in '06
@TheFirebird95 at least the a's are in the playoff race now. the a's offense is good lately, and the rangers offense is in a slump. anaheim will be forgotten soon.
WELL, WELL, WELL!!! Here we are again folks!! Last year I commented on here about how the A's were the worst team in the bigs and my predictions for a full season rang true.... and what do we have this year? The additions of Holliday and Giambi, and another last place squad despite the good pickups! Your decent players know where to go AKA NICK SWISHER! You better hope that Braden, Cahill and Bailey can make up for that AA level lineup!
Actually my dear friend, MoneyBall works. Do you not see how the recession has affected every major league team except the Oakland A's??? We were the only ones who had money to spend this off season on names like Giambi, Garciaparra, Cabrera, Wuertz, Springer, and Holliday. Billy Beane saw the famine coming and traded smart. When Billy Beane calls your GM better hope your GM hangs the phone up because its the MAGIC BEANE at work.
hahahahahaha! 5 months ago when you posted that message I bet you didn't see those miserable A's at the bottom of the AL West, but I did! Let's reflect... Holliday GONE! Giambi's career is OVER! Garciaparra?? I'm not even going to comment... Trevor Bailey is the best player on your team and I bet you dollars to donuts he is going to a different team next year when teams start to pick up on his talent. That's the A's game, breed 'em and sell 'em for crap!!!
@alasdairgillis what do u have to say about the a's now? 2nd place in al west, OVER .500, the rangers offense has been terrible lately, while ours has greatly improved. the a's can catch the rangers in the next few days
and as for harden, the kid is hugely talented but is constantly on the DL, A's fans have been asking to get him traded for years, BB should have got something better out of the deal, but thats BB for ya.
How's about those A's now, dick?! Cashing in their miserable season by trading away Harden! Oh don't worry I'm sure Jack Cust and Bobby Crosby will still get them into the playoffs. What a disaster, a second rate team from a third rate city!
With what offense? Jack Cust?? Mark Ellis? Those guys are BUMS and your pitching staff is even worse, Joe Blanton is a loser in the making, espn is predicting 20 losses for him this year. Harden is your only decent pitcher and he's hurt, the A's should be a AA team
its not all about big names. but w/e ur probably just some bandwagon fan. btw their 17-10 their in first place in their division ranked first in pitching in the milb an they just rocked the angeks 14-2 today. doesnt sound AA to me
yet just another A's hater pussy. who are you a wagon jumping yankees or bosox fan, who only likes the team because theyre popular and win.... and buy all their talent? or are you a pathetic giants fan whos just butthurt that YOUR team is the laughing stock of the majors not having won a championship in 50 or so years.
every year it seems all sort of sports critics hate on the As and say were losers, yet with only a 1/4 of the budget of most teams will still find a way to compete. thats talent
Nope I'm a born and bred Yankees fan that stuck with them even when they sucked during the 80's. Best team in baseball history by the way. I don't consort with such lowly cities as Oakland, among the nations worst in poverty and violent crime. Oh, and now that Harden is gone your team basically cashed in their chips, they SUCK ASS and are quickly descending down that AL West division LOSER!!
wow hard to imagine i had you pegged as a yankoff fan. NY fans all have that holier than thou attitude and think that no one else is worthy to smell the shit coming out of their mouths. you talk down to oakland as being unsafe when im pretty sure the bronx isnt some wonderful place where you can walk down the street at night w/o getting robbed. i dont consort with lowly cities such as oakland... alright then, DONT! leave here and go back to that pedestal you sit on while gurgling jeters nutsack
@alasdairgillis "such lowly cities as Oakland?". well excuse me, dont the yankees play in the Bronx? Between the heroin addict drug users, the dirty diapers and used tampons in the street I don't think someone from the Bronx has any room to talk about Oakland. Plus we have the better weather; 60 degree days in winter 75 degree days in summer and fall...
@diehardoaklandfan510 I'm not from the Bronx but I'll gladly go watch baseball there.... funny, I've never seen any of those things on the street and there are lots of smack addicts across this wonderful country, per capita probably higher in Missouri than NY. Hey at least so far in 2010 you are ahead of Seattle, if that means anything.
i was in the bleachers too! what section were you. i still got my ticket. i'll look where i was later. i was in the second level of the bleachers. i was sort of in left center field
the A's suck. their going to finish last in the al west.they were 76-86 last year. they got rid of haren and swisher. they will be one of the worst teams in baseball.
Hey OAKLANDsucksASS...who's your team? The Giants? No matter how good or bad the A's are next year, one thing's for certain: Your team would KILL to get Billy Beane, the best GM in all of sports. (that is NOT an overstatement!!)
naturally i root for the A's but they've made alot of stupid decisions and are sucking but im in it for them my home team...Hope they get to the series this season 0.0
tinbed17, i ask myself the same question. i nearly cried when they lost that last game. i've been an A's fan for a while and think that last season was one of the best! they were just SO close! i miss zito and thomas. chavez is my man!
