The A's suck. Dead freaking last in the entire major leagues of baseball. The Sugarland Skeeters would probably take two of three from them at this point (surprise, bullpen blows it in the 7th). We A's fans aren't used to this after a few winning seasons. Right now, thinking about the A's just makes us angry, and baseball is losing its fun. That's natural, but it's not good. Far better is to channel our anger and frustration into healthier outlets.
"Geren Years" veterans know how to get through this. We watched some really really boring moribund A's teams for five years.
