2011 MLB Season

[Mayhems]

I was just thinking today while watching the A's play how Hideko Matsui acted in a mostly DH role for the Yankees..

Yeah, tell me about it. Hey, Mr World Series MVP, here's your hat and don't let the door hit you in the popo on the way out. Still steamed about that. Damon I understand, but GODZILLA??? Dumb, dumb move by Cashman.

Speaking of the A's, it's looking like Billy has quietly put together the best staff in baseball. Nobody else in the AL is even really close.

Except, of course, for the Cleveland Indians.

Who just happen to have the best record in baseball.


I'll leave now. Please. Continue you're discussion.

I mean nobody is close to how good their pitching has been. Their hitting still sucks of course. For example, look at the AL team pitching ranked by ERA+ (which adjusts for ballpark factors so the A's pitchers are appropriately punished for the huge park they play in):

1. Oakland 144
2. Anaheim 116
3. Tampa 110
4. Cleveland 108
5. Texas 108

Yep, almost as dumb as bringing Vasquez back last season.

Or letting Berkman go..

Enough already! Brings back bad memories of the eighties when the got rid of can't miss prospects and signed washed-up players.

Bring back Steve "Boom Boom" Balboni!

Bring back Steve "Boom Boom" Balboni!

He was a product of the farm system. I saw him play in AAA.

What do you guys think about Deadspin's re-alignment idea



I know the Orioles would still hate it
