the sweep

I'm completely numb. I checked the score before leaving work this afternoon and it was 3-2 A's. I get home, turn on the T.V. and see some idiot Texan with a broom. I rushed to the computer to find out who today's culprit was and find out it was Dotel. I have since accessed ESPN's play by play log to see who was guilty of LOB's and if there were any errors. My wife asked me why I was putting myself through this and I really didn't have an answer. I've never before followed a team that fell apart the way this one is doing. Sure, there have been A's teams that came up short but I can't recall one that had the division title in its sights and started crapping all over itself. It's obvious I have no confidence in this team (and this despite the fact that the Angels are doing the same thing as the A's)and I will be shocked if they do in fact win the division. And, here's the worst part, I'm beginning to sound like a Cubs or Red Sox fan with all the self loathing. Only a sweep of the Angels will bring me out of it.
