2011 A's Regular Season Random Thoughts / News

By now you might have heard of a book called Moneyball about a particular MLB team whose front office is led by a saberhead GM named Billy Beane.

It's also lead by great scouting!! If Billy Beane only listened to his saberheads, Cahill would have been traded by now.

Beane drafted Cahill lol. He wanted him.

[love_that_reefer]

Exactly my point, Beane isn't all stats One of the biggest misconceptions of Moneyball

[Providence A's]

He's always been about pitching and defense...espcially at the Overstock.com Colesium lol.

Is that what it's called now? Good lord that sucks!

[Providence A's]

Yup. Oh well. Hopefully, they won't be there too much longer.

[A'sDiehard]

Went to the game today and good win! Good thing as Beuhrle pretty much owns us. Hopefully we can find a way to get to him tomorrow.

[Providence A's]

Lame. A's lose 2 of 3 to the shitty White Sox. Back to .500 lol.

[A'sDiehard]

We need another bat; that or the second half of our order to hit over .200

[love_that_reefer]

You need Mark Ellis to start hitting better than Micheal Jordan.

[A'sDiehard]

Nice little (and wet) 2 game sweep of the Angels.

[love_that_reefer]

It was good to see Gio bounce back after that seven run fiasco that didn't count.

[Providence A's]

He's been on since the all-star break last year. I wasn't really concerned about 1 game whether it counted or not.

[A'sDiehard]

We've scored 2 runs in our last three games and Geren had Ellis (barely over .200) hitting fifth against Lincecum today.

Fuck yeah!

[Providence A's]

Don't worry, we'll win 3 in a row and then lose 3 in a row. It seems to be the pattern this year.
