um hello
Hi there Oakland A’s. Congratulations on leading the AL in offense.
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.

no runs for the A’s in this inning?

we’ll be seeing another one of those “LOSE” graphics on HH later tonight.

Scioscia's lost without his pitching coach.
Or maybe Nick Adenhart will be pitching in place of Moseley.

“So Dustin Mosely has a 1-2-3- inning!! But, its still 14-2…..”

The hate is really flowing over in Halos Heaven
I’m honestly curious
how does a somewhat worthless, frequently relocated franchise like the Athletics without a dominant winning tradition in recent memory have such a strong e-presence on the internet exactly? Athletics Nation is ridiculously active, despite no one ever appearing at the park, and without any real reason for bandwagoners to exist. It’s seriously confusin.

I wonder the same thing.
I live in Iowa now, so I can’t get to many games, but lived near Sacto until 3 years ago and used to go all the time.
Some read stats. Fans actually watch the games.

Reading this again, this might be the dumbest post of all time
“how does a somewhat worthless, frequently relocated franchise like the Athletics”
frequently relocated? LOL The team has been in Oakland for 40 years
“without a dominant winning tradition in recent memory”
First a team being in the same city for 40 years is a “frequently relocated franchise” but now a team thats played in 3 world series in the last 20 years doesn’t have a recent winning tradition. Make up your mind son lol
“any real reason for bandwagoners to exist. It’s seriously confusin.”
lol @ at an Angel fan not understading the concept of a non-bandwagon fan

I'm honestly curious
Why does a an-overpriced, frequently renamed franchise like the Angles with a spotty “winning tradition” over the last 10 years even have a fan blog at all? Halo Heaven is ridiculously dull, despite everyone appearing at the park in the 5th and leaving in the 7th, and without anything but bandwagoners, why does the blog even exist? It’s seriously confusin to any real fan, with a brain, who can both write and type.

In the '70's
San Diego Stadium was one of the great pitcher’s parks of all time. You had to hit the ball into the stands for a home run. In the early ‘80’s they put in a low temporary fence that made the place a much better hitter’s park. Before that happened, though, both Jones and an aging Gaylord Perry put up such great numbers that they won Cy Youngs.
