Thank God for Soler to take my mind off of Castro and his nonsense.

It's as much a psychological tactic, as it is a physical one.

Spare me. It's something you'd do in a Tudor Electric Football game.

How do you play baseball on an electric football game?

The Five Stages of Grief

1. Denial and Isolation

2. Anger

3. Bargaining

4. Depression

5. Acceptance - this is where I am at with the 2014 Oakland Athletics right this minute. It is what it is. Not going to get worked up over a loss anymore. Tonight's defeat to the Halos, the A's are now 4 games behind the Angels. If they don't make the playoffs, oh wells. If they make the playoffs, oh wells.

Taking a day trip with my wife up to Citi Field today for the Mets/Phillies game. My boss got a bunch of free tickets from another company we deal with up north and gave us a game.

I wouldn't say underrated, he is recognized throughout the league as one of the best lefties--if not one of the best starters--in the game today. You just don't here about him as much as Kershaw and Felix b/c the Sox are well out of the playoff race

I mean media wise.

Jesus, the A's just got Adam Dunn.

This A's collapse is something else.

Castro is one of the best young SS in baseball and you're worried about him? lololol I'd be more worried about the rest of the team sans Anthony Rizzo being horrible.

I guess I don't quite have the imagination you do.. I just don't understand the comparison of over-shifting to playing baseball on an electric football machine.

But to each their own

Don't let his numbers fool you. Too many people who don't watch him everyday, fall for that. It's more than just numbers.

He's supposed to be one of their core guys. There's way too many mental lapses in his game for a shortstop and supposed "leader" of this team. I'm talking little league type of bull****.

Yeah, only having the 3rd best record in the AL would be horrible.
