Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

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.
