The Athletics are 11-24 since Aug. 9. Their games have become a nightly torture ritual for the fan base.Comment

Sadly, the two NL pitchers they brought in have ranged from piss poor to very average since coming to Oakland. If this wasn't Oakland I'd think the media would be killing Beane right now.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Did Cespedes really mean THAT much to the A's...I knew in the back of my mind when I saw that trade that it would come back to bite them but I didn't expect them to completely fall off the face of the earth.

I like Lester, and the A's would have lost Cespedes in either the winter or by the deadline next year anyway, but I didn't like the trade because it changed the team dynamic too much in the middle of the season.Athletics Franchise:

Re: 9/8 - 9/21 Game Discussion Thread
The Hitler/Nazi Cespedes trade video still perfectly sums up my feelings on the whole thing. I TRY to look at the season as a whole. It's only way to not be upset with what is happening.
Lots of teams would kill to be 2 games up on the WC with the 10 games left. Just get in and roll your dice in the crap shoot that is the playoffs.Oakland Athletics San Jose Sharks

Re: 9/8 - 9/21 Game Discussion Thread
Beane is constantly in tinker mode. He always trusts that his GM skills will allow him to treat current "proven" talent as disposable and overvalued, because there will always be cheaper, more flexible talent out there for him to bring in. In this case both Lester and Cespedes were disposable, but he will have nothing to show for it next season. Only in Oakland...Last edited by dubcity; 09-18-2014, 03:54 PM.Comment

I see the Mariners are giving King Felix his requisite run support tonight..."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

Absolutely criminal what offenses do to their own pitchers, man.Comment

Re: 9/8 - 9/21 Game Discussion Thread
Regardless of the outcome it's already an embarrassment of a performance...Angels scratched Jered Weaver and trotted out a triple a lineup, and the Mariners still can't do ****. I haven't been this angry all season.Comment

At least LoMo came through…although Rodney did what he could to give it away. AL WC race looking interesting..."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

If the M's make the playoffs I would NOT be comfortable at all with Rodney at the closer position. I could see him melting down in the heat of the postseason.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club
