In 2002, the Oakland A's were 10 games back on May 30. They finished in 1st with 103 wins.

Now, they had played 5 fewer games than us at that point in the season, so I'm not gonna claim we're gonna win 100...but I'm gonna stay optimistic about making the post season.


(I watched Moneyball yesterday)


My favorite part of that movie is when they forgot to mention the A's had the best starting rotation in all of baseball

But do they get on base…

I like to imagine the real David Justice went to see the movie with his whole family while completely unaware of its contents.

Also, that Peña trade was terrible for the A's. Beane should have tried to get it taken out of the movie it was so embarrassingly bad.

What was it we used to say around here? Something like, "manage your expectations"?

Jake meyers might be my favorite guy on the team right now. Plays like his hair is on fire, always trying to do something to get the team ahead. Looking to steal literally every time, going full out sprint on everything, total sparkplug, love to see it

Astros starters give up 5 runs across 4 games and the team loses 3 of those.

Or, gave up 2 runs across 3 games and lost two of those.

Just lol bad

Why can't players who aren't contributing like Abreu come down with 'discomfort' and hit the DL?

Deep behind enemy lines tonight, seeing Hootie for a concert (wife's favorite)

Sporting my old school oilers shirt - and already caught some crap. But I've got a great canned response "yeah, I didn't think about it and then I was worried about opposing fan threatening me. Then I remembered is was just Dallas."

I've been flexing my Oiler tattoo on Cowboys' fans for 28 years!

Also, I'd like to see the look on Art Howe's face when they said, while we are getting one of the greatest actors of this generation to play you, he's going to play you as a fat, slob, a-hole.

Moneyball 2

What a buzzkill for Joey being sent down from The Show so Abreu could Fiers Up a couple games.

Jesus Bastidas could become a catch phrase on home runs for a Spanish broadcaster

hard to believe the Mariners could win the AL West

while being 29th in MLB in runs scored

but maybe so

the Mitch Garver signing has been a disaster

and even worse -- the trade back for Mitch Haniger -- making $20 MM this season

so Minnesota is inbound to MMP

the Twins are hot

7-2 in their last 9 games

Correa is having a good year with .786 OPS -- but at $33 MM needs .800 minimum

he has missed 17 games due to injury

I think it's always been this way. The guys you remember being great after 30 are because they are the greats. They are the 1% of the 1% for a reason.

They say 27 years old is most players prime.

Well, hopefully he's playing 1B almost exclusively in SL.

I hope so, we still have Chas, Yordan and Dubon that can play OF. Loperfido needs all the reps at 1B.

No way Abreu gets that. He can't even catch a ball hit that hard right at him, let alone one he has to dive for.

Going to be rough needing to watch him struggle the next 30 ABs....
