What we've been watching so far

We know it can't go on much longer. Some of the A's have to break out of this ugly slump. I hope some home cookin' helps this weekend and next week.  Here's a note from Rotoworld:

Exactly how bad has Oakland's offense been this season? They collectively have a batting line of .235/.313/.338. Among active players, the guys whose career numbers most closely resemble the offensive awfulness that the A's have put up are ... drumroll please ... Keith Osik (.231/.309/.323), Paul Bako (.240/.312/.332), and Andy Fox (.239/.324/.338). In other words, try to imagine a lineup full of nine Paul Bakos for a moment and realize that's what Oakland fans have been watching all year.
