It's getting close to that time of year again folks, and Billy is back to his wacky ways again. Are the A's still built to compete in the AL West, or are they back to cellar dwellers? What say you?

I can't believe they sent down Burns to make way for Cody Ross..... WTF is that ****????

They will compete. They still have a good starting pitching core, some nice prospects and a solid bullpen.

 

I Don't Know is on 3rd.




Seriously, I have no clue.




LET'S GO OAKLAND ! ! ! *clap clap clap-clap-clap*

 

I heard the best way is to go in with a bunch of guys on season tickets and split the games. *shrugs*

 

Who's even on the team anymore? lol

 

I'm signed up to the team newsletter. I mainly just pay attention to the subject line. Most of them this offseason have been "A's acquire ... for ..." or "A's trade ..."

Seriously thinking the team has been gutted. Even more so than the dumbass mistake with Cespedes. May or may not pan out.. I don't have much hope coming into this season.

 

Sale of single game tix begins @ 9 am tmrw!

cuz we're less than a week from the team's return to The Bay.

I'm debating going to Game 3 of the exhibition Bay Bridge Series next Saturday or Opening Night a couple days later.













LET'S GO OAKLAND! *clap clap clap-clap-clap*

 

With all these kids I doubt I will make many games but I plan to hit up the day game with Riya in a couple weeks against the rangers

 

Keep me posted on that. I'd be down to join up.

 

For sure man. Once I confirm my day off I'll hit you up. Probably going to sit in Club Plaza, $38/ea, under the shade of the 3rd deck overhang.

Peavy got lit up

 

Yeah, it was nice to see the lively bats on Thurs night. Plus, they played solid D and almost every pitcher was on point.

But then last night, they showed what inconsistency results in. And it certainly didn't help that Cain & the rest of the Giants pitchers put together a stellar performance.

Gotta win today's rubber match at the O.co.

Oh, and thanks for updating 1st post w/ the opening day roster, OP.
