Amazin' A's

[sonicdethmonkey0]

the a's are everything i wish the cubs were. they play smart baseball, they let their kids play (and they produce), they have a great starting rotation and a great bullpen.

 

also they have barry zito and that crazy one crazy guy with red hair

 

WE HAVE A GUY WITH CRAZY RED HAIR AND WE NEVER PLAY HIM argh

bobby kielty!

 

he had a bad game today

 

but chavez and zito (old school a's) didn't, and they won 5-2.

A's have been my second team for a while. Maybe they should just be my first team... :-k

BEST A'S NEWS OF ALL TIME

 

nick swisher shaved the bottom part of his goatee off and now has an amazingly cool fu manchu

 

The fu-manchu is highly underrated...... it had promise when Shaq rocked it for a while but its rebirth was stunted.

 

Remember when Giambi went from the A's to the Yankees, and went from a long-haired, goateed, California boy to a guy who looked like he got a frontal lobotomy?

after a 16-1 win over jose lima and the royals, the a's are now tied with the angels for first place in the american league west at 63-47.

jose lima was pitching, though.

 

andy sisco walked two in an inning and a third (didnt give up a run), but i unfortunately left before he came in.

I wonder what Beane is saying to all those who told him he was selling this season short for the sake of the future?

[treebird]

8-0 a's in the top of the third. i know it's the royals, but jeez.

[sonicdethmonkey0]

Beane has said that that it's amazing how quickly the team matured - this team was designed to compete starting in 2006, not this year.

A's win 11-0. 6-1 road trip after sweeping the Royals. They are now 17 games over .500 and an even .500 on the road.

They'll lose in the first round like they always do.

[treebird]

They'll lose in the first round like they always do.

 

they haven't even made the playoffs yet

 

you could certainly make a case that they're olaying over their heads right now.

[Outshined_One]

They'll lose in the first round like they always do.

 

Unless they play the White Sox.

[Mark_R]

They'll lose in the first round like they always do.

 

they haven't even made the playoffs yet

 

 

ok, at this point, I'm anticipating they make it. Figured that was implied by my response.

if we're just anticipating they make it, im going to anticipate that they'll have as good a chance as anyone to win in the first round of the playoffs and that it'd be silly to think otherwise.

Haren hasn't lost since May 26 :shock:

The A's are becoming my favorite non-Cubs team to watch. I love the moneyball philosophy. They've been an amazing team over the last 2 months.
