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. .

Banned by Blez

Breaking news!

(No, Pathetics Nation didn't score an interview in which Billy Beane
has agreed to answer softball questions from wannabe writers.)

The news is that Tokyoak, founder of PN, has been banned from posting
at our sister site, Athletics Nation, by blogmaster Blez. In fact,
Blez exercised the "nuclear option," erasing all of Tokyoak's posts
on AN from this season and last.

Tokyoak believes Blez feels threatened by the growing number of
intelligent A's fans who refuse to contribute to the Jobless
Journalist Fund by purchasing "In Billy We Trust" T-shirts. But
that's simply one employed man's opinion.

Whatever the reason, Tokyoak has just one response: "There is no
crying in baseball, Blez."

He didn't tell me anything. But the Tokyoak account on AN has been locked.

I want to thank those of you who have come here with an open mind to see what this blog is about.

Basically, I wanted to an offer a sort of anti-AN site that might help us break the trend that seems to be hurting this team.

In other words, a sort of "curse-buster."

I got in trouble with Blez when, in frustration a couple of weeks ago, I posted in frustration that "I want a refund on my 'In Billy We Trust' T-shirt. Oh, wait a minute...I never bought one in the first place."

Blez sent me a private email asking me "What's your problem, man" and warning me to play nice.

So here I am...playing nice.

;-)

Let's Go AAA's!

And yes, Signrickey is correct: I've been an A's fan since for more than 30 years.
