Official Oakland Athletics 2012 Season Thread (94-68) AL WEST CHAMPIONS

[smokey1212]

Damn this team mannn.....They shouldn't of gotten my hopes up at the beginning of the season. Oh well, this is what I expected to begin the season.

I'm all behind watching the development of Reddick, Cespy, Weeks, Cowgill and Norris.

I'm tired of this team's acceptance of mediocrity. Either win games with the overpaid veterans (COCO) that you have, or completely rebuild and give the younger guys a chance (Taylor, Carter, Norris, Peacock). The rays did what  they had to do, had their fair share of 100 loss seasons, and drafted the players they needed to become a powerful squad. I'm down to lose 100 this year and next if it means playoffs in 2015-18. 
Took too long for this name to get approved though, I was hoping to have it while the streak was still alive.

Get some offense in this draft. Please.

 

[GreenNGold89]

And Lew needs to grow a pair and start pressing the issue about the new stadium. He needs to start making things happen rather than waiting on Selig.

 

[grusumm18]

not mad at addison, tad early tho

wondering where giolito is gonna go (drops out of 1st?)

 

[scott frost]

He just went to the Nats

 

[grusumm18]

steal...they wont have the opp to pick a like player in the future

 

[GreenNGold89]

Can we score today please?

 

[shaunhillftw49]

^yes

 

[GreenNGold89]

Neither Russell or Robertson are expected to play SS at the major league level.
Edit: I know Russell lost weight to prove to people he can play SS so hopefully that sticks. 

 

[GreenNGold89]

And now a 1B. Looks like we may have a brand new infield.

I'm glad we got some offense and went after HS players with more upside.

 

[grusumm18]

I'm pretty sure he won't play SS in the majors unless he has improved greatly. He's an everyday OF'er now isn't he?

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Save some runs for rest of the week

 

[lb510]

 

[rawex5]

10 runs. Well damn.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Damn.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Everyone in the lineup got a hit today.

When was the last time that happened?

 

[wearinthefourfive]

I bet Green got moved to short because someone got hurt or something. I don't even know who's playing short for Sac regularly nowadays.

Great game today, too bad Parker couldn't finish the no-no bid.

Yeah I'm surprised to hear that he's at SS too.

Green went 4/5 1HR 5RBI hitting 8th in the Rivercats lineup. 

 

[shaunhillftw49]

For those still interested, would the Dodgers series or Bay Bridge series work for the summit?

Don't Let Giants fans outnumber us
