My Kingdom for a Hitter

The offense is bad. We know this.

What’s your solution? Who should they get? Present some ideas.

I’m going to go feed my dog now.

uh… +1?

And what exactly do you present to this dilemma?

.......

Great suggestions! Love your ideas about the subject. While feeding your dog, take a look at what is being done right now, think why, do some research (which big bat should they plunk a lot of $ to, and what effect would that have)?

• think about the effect part, a lot.

What a surprise. Stick to feeding your dog and drinking kool-aid.

Real simple here.

Last year we sucked, mostly due to major injury problems, but we sucked.
Coming into this year, instead of trying to compete, we traded for prospects because it is cheaper and more prudent to suck with prospects with potential than to suck with high priced players. It’s called rebuilding. All teams do it, some just have more money and can do it faster and with Free Agents. We can’t. OAKLAND A’s not NEW YORK A’s. Anyway, this team of ragtag players and prospects ended up actually overachieving thus giving people hope. THEN, when we came back to earth, we the “Magic Beane” continued the rebuilding process. And I think you would be hard pressed to find a media outlet that has said we got hosed on any deal the “Magic Beane” has made.

So, in review: We are rebuilding. We are not going to add a bat and all of a sudden be in contention.

Stick to feeding your dog and the “Magic Beane” will continue to work with limited resources to pull a WS out of his magic ass here hopefully soon.

Boy aren’t we thin- skinned. As far as who the A’s should get since I’m such a idiot I don’t know, here’s a couple of names though. Holliday or Teixeira. The Rockies seem to want to make a move and the A’s have made trades with the Braves in the past.

One last thing, lighten up people it’s only a game. Since I’m done walking my dog I’m going to go make some kool-aid who wants some?

I’m saying trade for these hitters and then sign them to long term contracts. The A’s need to build around a core of good players. I think the magic Beane has gotten the pitching, now add some hitting. As my last post proved I wasn’t an english major either.
History, and I only made it through on my good looks and charm.

Most hitters on the market are free agents at the end of this year. Only adding one more bat would not put us back in contention this year. Why would we ever do that? The goal is to compete the next five to six years not this year. We’ve known that from opening day.

If you know anything about this site, then you know it is for FANS of the A’s. Lacing your posting with “Magic Beane” is not going to earn you any accolades. Making silly statements such as “spend some freakin’ money” is hardly an insight worthy of a fanpost. Top it off with a sweep at the hands of the Yankees today and you become the target of angst and frustration. It was a dumb posting and you should stick to making comments until you have something more profound….or less stupid

Well, this post is about as popular as George W. Bush at a ACLU rally so I’ll cede to the crowd that I am a moron and try and do better next time.

does this website mean so much to you people that you will mercilessly attack other peoples views and intelligence? if you are so offended by something why even comment on it? i guess it means a lot to flashfire since he’s always the first to comment and call people out

is it looking like Nelson Cruz could be just what the A’s need to solve thier lack of power?

Then again, onr thing Texas can do is develope mashers, and he is stil in AAA
