It's kinda sad I'm not even interested this year. Didn't watch one spring training game haven't really followed. Reinsdorf doesn't deserve our time. Not that he cares. Yeah they say he wants to win, yeah like it's 1950. How can we as fans allow 46 years of incompetence? 9 playoff appearances in those 46 years and only in one they they go deep in the playoffs. Then This s%*# show. I was fricken 5 when Scrooge McReinsdorf bought the team. I don't know how any major sport can allow an owner do this. And in Fucking Chicago to boot one of the biggest markets. I hope for the best but I ain't counting on it...

Man it's hard to project hope after this one. Normally something I try to do but...double digit runs given up plus striking out 20 times...that's like a high school team playing a MLB team. That shouldn't happen

Crazy thing is they signed Jose Ramirez to a second extension....isn't some of that money deferred?

Kwan's the second highest paid player?

And the A's have signed a bundle of under 27 talent extensions, as well as Severino as a FA last year.

Really could not have gone any worse, so there’s that at least. This is a sure fire 100 loss team if Shane Smith regresses along with Colson.

Getting blown out and looking totally inept was a lot easier to swallow when the team was 90% dumpster dive players.
