2011 A's Regular Season Random Thoughts / News

[Providence A's]

Apparently, McCarthy was put on the DL along with Ross. I missed that. They haven't said who is going to start Monday or Tuesday yet lol.

[Providence A's]

Yay! The bullpen finishes off the sweep. Woo hoo!

Beane sold us another line of bullshit. Now Hamilton and Cruz are coming off the DL as well....

Jered, not Jeff?

Yeah fuck it wouldn't matter against us.

This is brutal.

[Providence A's]

7 in a row tonight, eh? Wake me up when it's June.

[Pronk]

Not tonight unless they put on a total collapse. They lead 5-0

[A'sDiehard]

Welp there's all our runs and XBHs for the week.

I like this Mascoso guy though and he has a little bit of an attitude. Seriously our starters are throwing out quality starts on a nightly basis.

Swing the fuckin bat!

How long is Barton going to keep batting 2nd?

Yankees just smoked us in a three game sweep.

[A'sDiehard]

Welp this should be the road trip that sinks our season folks. Hopefully Billy Beane can find himself another yes man so nothing has to change.
