Happy Holidays!!!
I just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
It's been a fun year here on AN despite the A's having their worst season since the site launched. And despite the fact that Billy Beane traded my favorite A's pitcher, I'm really looking forward to 2008. I'm looking forward to seeing if Barton and Buck can stay healthy for an entire season and what kind of numbers they're going to put up. I'm looking forward to seeing if Gonzalez might make the team out of camp. I'm looking forward to seeing if Eveland can make an impact.
I'm also excited to see a catcher who can actually hit the ball out of the park for a full season and watching him mature in handling a pitching staff. And I think I'm hoping to see if the Canadian pitcher can get on the field for more than a couple of starts in 2008. Finally, I'm excited to see what the A's do with their earliest pick in the draft in many years.
So while it's pretty easy to be down on the A's in 2008, I'm still excited about watching this team grow together. Then again, I have had quite a bit of egg nog today.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Happy Holidays to all AN and to the 2008 the
begining of a new A's dynasty.
I am really looking forward to 2008 and the young A's. Buck, Swisher, Barton, Suzuki and the others should be exiting and then add the ned guys like Gonzo and there is a lot of hope in A's baseball now.
We may not be contenders this year but it will be fun. and Hey, you never know, Meyers could be what he used to be after last year's AAA success.
It is funny because last year and the year before people were complaining about the lack of an offense but now we could have an exciting offense.
Happy Holidays to all of you and a happy and fun A's new year.
Happy Holidays, AN.
This is definitely the best sports blog of any kind that I've stumbled across. Here's to AN, and of course, our 2008 Oakland A's!
Also, Blez, way to one up baseballgirl on the exclamation points.

Merry Christmas AN!
It's 3:45 and still no sign of Santa. Maybe it's time for me to go to bed.
May the holidays bring you warm memories and very special happiness!
Christmas?
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, humbug, I say.
Hope you all found the perfect presents
under your trees!

Hope all A's Fans Have a Great Time!
Thanks Blez. I am totally looking forward to the new year. Without a doubt, A's is a great team, either the greatest moments or the biggest disappointments, the biggest goats or heroes and all the personalities that make the A's such an endearing and captivating club. I believe A's could and will make great contributions to baseball games.I am very proud to be one of you guys, and hope more guys join us. These two days, I surfed presents online, searched everything that associate with A's. Haha, it was interesting and funny. There are T-shirt, sweatshirt, calendar, book, cap, lighter...But I am fond of Mr. Potato Head Toy (a miniature sports version) mostly. His look is festival. I believe it can bring good luck to A's. I think it is a pretty good collection to express our team pride, here glad to share with you: http://www.dealstudio.com/searchdeal... Hope A's has a wonderful season!

I got the new A's Official Jacket
I'll be honest, I kind of knew I was getting it. However nothing could have prepared me for how sweet the new model is.
