The Oakland A's pitching mound, Bank of Earth, replied to the recent criticisms of Texas Ranger pitcher C.J. Wilson.

"I hate when he pitches here. He sucks, his teammates suck. It's too bad because I became pretty close to their manager Ron Washington when he was a coach here."

"It's kind of sad because I have spoke with may other pitchers here - guys like Cahill and Gonzalez- All Star pitchers and they love pitching here."

"I would rather be a mound here than in Texas. I like the weather here a lot better and C.J. Wilson mounts me less often."

"He hates me anyways so it doesn't matter. The other pitchers on their team hate me, whatever. I don't care."
