The Reverse Twelve Steps of AN
1. We admit the A’s are powerless over Major League pitching.
2. We come to believe that a drink stronger than beer could restore us to sanity.
3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Bartender, as we understand Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our cash on hand.
5. Admitted to the Bartender, to ourselves, and to another human that we probably shouldn’t drive ourselves home.
6. Were entirely ready to have the Bartender remove all remaining consciousness.
7. Humbly asked Him to pour us another one.

There is no "i" in Teamocil. At least not where you'd think.

pathetic

My thoughtful watermelon is easily mistook for an early American catapult.
Good way to fix all this looking at strike 3 crap
They need to be told that if it’s close and they don’t swing then they are benched the next game.
That crap would stop right there
you think they're here for anything but fireworks?

Maybe it's "greencollar baseball"

it's not the 1st pitch swing, or the 2 strike take
it’s that they suck, case in point, Zook, no matter what he does he makes an out

This loss is really going to hurt our chances of winning the World Series.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Im confused why Carter is now playing everyday.
And not a week ago. Are we not in the same player situation?
Ask Management
they seem to think they know what they are doing.
full of hope is fine
we all want them to win but there are too many minor league players on the team for them to do anything. Minor leaguers like Kurt, Pennington, Rosales etc.
I only started watching in the eight but am pretty confident
You could be paying damages for libel to Pennington and Rosales
Barton got sent down for nearing .200
now Suzuki is almost there himself…I don’t mean to spam this comment, but doesn’t SOMETHING have to be done? If not sent down, shouldn’t he pull his head out of his ass at some point?
Need a Lounge

A thrid bedroom could be converted into a lounge
Otherwise, just use your living room ;)

I don't get what Shooty is saying
blaming A’s inability to hit on missing Willingham and everyone has to move up a spot in the lineup. I think that’s BS
yea. pretty ridiculous that he does shit for the a's on tv.
