A's sure didn't get any proven talent, and they gave up a lot of proven talent. The A's want to get guys that have about 5 years until they have to pay them well. They love that. They gather them up and what they almost always get is some of the pitchers flourish in that pitcher's park. What they don't get on the cheap is enough playoff quality hitting to go anywhere special. They try to buy it with free agent gambles, and it rarely works(except for 2006.) Even in 2006, in the playoffs, once Thomas slumped, they had nowhere else to go. Their other playoff quality hitter did well(Bradley,) but their Walmart shopper hitters (their 500k a year types ) were flops at the plate. The main thing is that this guy running the show is filth. Treats underlings like crap, and has no loyalty. He will never get rings. So, that bitch can keep thinking he is doing something special, but he isn't. He keeps going nowhere, and is so proud that they are close to being something. No, you aren't close to being anything. Every time you get something you give it away, and then fkn lie n' say ya ain't selling. Your selling. You're a whore. Anything special you have is given away for not much. That's a whore. He's already folding up tent on the year(before the Allstar break.) Were they gunna win the Wild Card? After seeing them win practically every game in August 2006, I wouldn't of counted them out yet. The thing is that this whore is in such a hurry to move on to the future. If you think this guy has winning a ring on his mind, then you are insane. He never makes moves to do that. He gets a cheap team that plays decently, and nothing more. There is no maybe. They make no effort to gather enough talent to get a ring.
