What is
Pathetics Nation?
Pathetics Nation is an Oakland A's blog. Here, there's none of that "In Billy We Trust" bullshit. And we won't try to sell you any T-shirts, either. (We don't need to--we have real jobs.) We love the A's, but we tell it like it is.

Fun Fact
Sad but true: The T-shirt salesman who runs Athletics Nation also runs fan websites for the Los Angeles Angels, the Texas Rangers, the Seattle Mariners, and even the San Francisco Giants--all teams that REAL A's fans hate with a passion. .

Are we forever stuck with Beane?

By The Anti-Blez on Saturday, May 28, 2005

As most Oakland fan's know, when the team was sold to Lew Wolff, the new owner made Billy Beane a limited partner in the franchise.

With Beane ensconced not only in the GM position through 2012 but also the owner's suite, is there any hope the Oakland front office may someday realize that Moneyball doesn't really work unless you have a "Big Three" to back you up?

How far must the team sink before Beane begins to reconsider his approach and let small-ball advocates like Ron Washington take charge?

AN has turned into a dicatorship, with users being banned for speaking their mind. I guess that's only fitting, as Blez has already proudly announced plans to sell "In Billy We Trust" T-shirts with Soviet-style "cult of personality" images on them.
