So, we've got three games against the struggling Yanks this weekend. Here's what Ryne Sandberg had to say on Yahoo Sports:

"When a team with high expectations is playing poorly, that's when the manager can really make a difference. He can switch the lineup around a bit and do other things a little differently, like put on hit-and-runs and call for bunts, to get the team going.

Sometimes, a turnaround can happen in one series. Sometimes, one series is all it takes to change a team's attitude and get a team on a roll.

Even when a club is losing more games than expected, you have to remember the bottom line - that a baseball season is a marathon and not a sprint. After six months, the best teams usually rise to the top.

The ascent could begin this weekend for a certain struggling team in the Bronx."

He predicts our A's will get swept and the Yankees will start their climb back to the top.

We can not let this happen! Go A's!!!!
