We have endured some mediocre A’s teams in between the fun runs of winning teams. The “Geren Years” of 2007-11 were trying (but was the team?) and 2015-17 not much fun either.
Those squads, though, were very different from the 2025 A’s — who may be one of the more frustrating teams and certainly had the worst 1/5th of a season of any of them — and it’s why I continue to be glued to my TV every day even if it needs to be with a chocolate martini in one hand and a cocktail of Xanax and Zoloft in the other.
