Dam im at work and missed the game :{

Highlights it is but what is good with Dallas Braden's hair :lol
 
Uribe wouldve made that play...:smokin

1000
 
I really hope billy goes. You've had you're prime. Even if this wasn't direct correlation with his moves, we just need to start the rebuilding process with some one ekse calling the shots
 
@PGutierrezESPN: #Athletics fall to 1-13 under Billy Beane in elimination games where they could have advanced in postseason...

It is what it is at this point. The A's have lost so many ways in the playoffs, but at the end of the day what matters is breaking through. I don't know what else the team can do to make it happen beyond growing it's payroll to a competitive size.
 
This game sums up and is a reflection of not only this A's teams season but pretty much every A's playoff team from 2000 until now.
 
The A's went all in with giving up Cespedes for Lester and got Samardzija and Hammel via trade and Hammel gives up the winning hit to the Royals and they're probably gonna lose all of them via free agency.
 
:lol **** Oakland

In most circumstances sure.

But who the **** could do any better than Beane with that dump of a stadium, no local support to build a new one, lowest budget in all of sports, etc.

I mean... Seriously.

If we could go after the Robinson Cano's of the world in the offseason no **** we could be a better hitting team.

At the end of the day, we can't afford to take the next step...and that's not Beanes fault, it's the city of Oaklands.

How do you know no one can do better than beane? At some point you have to move on...
 
I like Brian Cashman, but I'll trade you him for Beane EARLY. Billy with a $200 million payroll would be very, very interesting.
 
What a game... Good luck Royals

Small balled us to death, easy when you get the lead off man every freaking inning almost.

The fact that they stole SEVEN bases is beyond comical.

This might be the most dissapointing feeling of my sports life... Niners losing on 4th in goal in the Super Bowl two years ago doesn't come close

Can we please stop with the "All in" narrative. Going all in is depleting your farm system for players to win now. Going all in is trading a top major league prospect who isnt quite ready to produce in the bigs for players to win now.

Going all in is not trading your middle of the order bat for a top pitcher. Thats simply trading hitting for pitching.

The whole "all in" narrative was and is a joke in relation to the A 's.
