Pathetics Nation :: The Sane Alternative to Athletics Nation: Dilemma

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.

Pathetics Nation
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. .

Dilemma

By The Anti-Blez on Thursday, June 02, 2005

A couple of weeks ago I decided to forgo my share of the profits from "In Billy We Trust" T-shirt sales and make a clean break from our sister site, Athletics Nation.

At the time, the AAA's were in the midst of their second eight-game losing streak of the month. I announced that if the team could somehow manage to string together three consecutive wins, I would consider shutting this site down.

Well, the Tampa Bay Dreg Rays* (3-21 record on the road this season) came to town, and the AAA's captured that elusive trio victories.

So, now I must decide whether to retire Pathetics Nation.

Hmm, let's see...

Hell no!

Pathetic Glossary
The AAA's: What we call the A's when they play like a bunch of chumps and lose. Beano: Billy Beane, the AAA's General Manager, a lifetime .219 hitter who now assembles teams that consistently collapse in the postseason. "Beaned Again": A euphemism for "Fucked By Beano Again," usually uttered after another postseason elimination or mind-numbingly bad off-season trade. AN: Athletics Nation, aka Asslickers Nation, a Beano propoganda blog, for "fans" who think simply making it to the playoffs--not actually winning it--is good enough. PN: Pathetics Nation, an intelligent parody of AN. Asslicker: Anyone who visits AN regularly. The T-shirt salesman: Our satirical nickname for the self-appointed ruler of Athletics Nation. The Anti-Blez: Your groovy Pathetics Nation guru.
