let's all laugh at the A's this morning

[bksballer89]

This was championship or bust for them and that poor franchise couldn't even get to the ALDS lol

You rented samardzija & Lester for this?

 

[fordman84]

Not gonna miss the opportunity to laugh at those guise!


LMAO

 

[TDs3nOut]

I'll simply say that the right team won what was truly an epic game.

 

[fordman84]

So how long does Lester now have to wait before he can resign with Boston? Hoping the A's offer him a contract and he takes less to go back to Boston, just to rub it in.

Why laugh at a team that spent money and rewarded the fans with a decent team.


They did exactly the right things.


But, baseball is a tough sport. Even the best teams lose 62-69 games.


I applaud them for "going for it".


They were not going to resign some of the assets they traded regardless.


GREAT SEASON OAKLAND.


That was an epic game that all baseball fans should thank you for giving us.

 

[bksballer89]

The Lester move was unnecessary imo. They had enough pitching already.

It's always funny to see teams make these championship or bust moves in the middle of the season only to lay a big fat egg in the playoffs

>Trades for Lester strictly for the postseason


>Lester gives up 6 ER in the WC game


>A's lose again in do or die games

 

[bksballer89]

Great season Oakland? Lmao this was a terrible year for them. Do you realize how bad they were in August & September? On July 1st they were 4 up on the Angels at basically the halfway mark as they played 83 games while the Angels played 82. From that point on the Angels were 14 games better than them. You have to be really crappy for a team be 14 games better than you in a 3 month time period

I don't know, but I feel like trading away Cespedes is going to haunt them for a long time. Not taking anything away from Lester, but the team struggled horrendously after the trade. Yeah, I understand they struggled somewhat prior to the trade, but after that the parachute was completely torn.

This was an epic collapse!

C'mon man. Moneyball was a great movie.

 

[WhiteMamba]

It was a fun Ride for a few months. Winning a lot of games with a minute budget.

Beane rolled the dice to counter the mighty Tigers from the off season to trade deadline moves. Johnson blew up in his face (no pun) and the starting pitching moves didn't work. I was optimistic. But, the collapse was ultimately finished last night.

Deserve all the lols they get if that's your thing.

Go Royals, beat LAA

 

[navamind]

If it wasn't for Lester and Samardzija, the A's wouldn't have even made the postseason.

 

[WhiteMamba]

C'mon man. Moneyball was a great movie.

The end sucked.

And when you know it's coming, it made the movie no fun.

That's probably and want to thank them for actually helping baseball a lot more exciting in Seattle. The A's and Angels should've been runaways in the ALW.

 

[broncosmitty]

Billy Beane hates winning. It's becoming obvious.

AMEN!

 

[WhiteMamba]

One thing that A's fans will always have is pride in not being all over the map bandwagon front running fans.

Pride in your team even after a collapse >>>>>>>>
frontrunning teams all over the continental US map

Thanks for the season A's and thanks for trying at magic Beane.

A's aren't going anywhere. Parker and Griffin are coming back.

 

[bksballer89]

I seen a few A's fans in the nyc

 

[WhiteMamba]

I seen a few A's fans in the nyc

All over the map meaning not A's fans that are also Patriots, Alabama, and Heat fans.

Point is, we don't choose the A's because they are the front runner. You wouldn't get it.
