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. .

Open Thread: Game 86 - AAA's at Chicago White Sox

By The Anti-Blez on Saturday, July 09, 2005

For some reason, Chicago plays like ChicAAAgo when facing Oakland.

Here's hoping the trend continues.

Let's Go AAA's!

Yeah, I just read the news myelf.

bballfanr33, I salute you. You called it, and I was wrong.

Of course, this doesn't change the fact that the AAA's have sucked for most of this season--and Kotsay was already on the roster. Keeping him in a green-and-gold uniform MIGHT benefit the team during the next three seasons. It's unlikely the matter much at all this season.

The AAA's will have to go something like 55-20 during the second half to even be considered a contender.

He's gotta be planning to flip Payton. But for what? Another scrub who's been cut from a big-league roster?

3-run dong.

Nice way for Kotsay to celebrate his contract extension.

That makes sense--trading Byrnes and keeping Payton.

Of course, in that case Beano should have made the trade during the off-season, when Byrnes had higher value. His .260 BA and erratic defense don't look so great now...

Great story!

Nice win for the AAA's today.

A sweep in Chicago is asking for a bit much, but it sure would be sweet.
