Verlander was a nice reminder for me as to how dangerous pitching contracts are. Guy was an absolute stud with no history of arm troubles. Then he died.
And then two huge bombs for Ethier. A tie for the Normans.
I'd be a lot happier about this if havok, Featherdick, and north didn't just put up blowout wins. Goddammit Dinger.
Yup. If people are looking for a reason why the team is only 2 games over 0.500 despite the great run differential, they can stop at Josh Donaldson. They'd probably be 10 games over if not for this loser. That's what makes the A's so great. They can see past the numbers and move on from a guy who really doesn't help your team win.
Well-said. Now our potential playoff opponents know that the team's best player is a little bitch. I bet he'll crumble under the pressure of the playoffs if they get there.
Your playoff ticket has been punched since like May and you're upset that I'm up 4 on you with everything still close? I need this more than you brotato.
Probably. I dunno, it depends on a lot of things - what kind of options I had for dumping Reyes, what my doctors thought of his medicals, what else was out there for Hoffman and Castro etc...
