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.

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 105 - A's at Minnesota

By The Anti-Blez on Monday, August 01, 2005

Oakland begins a huge four-game road series against the Twinkies in their House of Horrors.

Dome ball is dumb ball.

Let's Go A's!

I saw a game at Tropicana last year. It is indeed terrible. And always empty. There were maybe 5,000 "fans" in the stands for a Saturday afternoon game.

I've also seen games in the Skydome (roof was closed at the time), which is rather generic despite the gigantic Jumbotron (which they've since replaced with a couple of smaller screens) and the hotel beyond the outfield fence.

The worst dome I ever visited, though, was the Kingdome. It was perfect for the late 1970s Mariners, though--a shitty team playing in a toilet bowl.

Butt Seawig should have contracted both the Twinkies and the MetroGloam!

Now would be the time for Swindall to hit his first (and probably only) dong of the season.

Nope, didn't think it would happen. Swindall now has ZERO home runs in 377 at-bats.

Meanwhile, Blimpy Blanton is on the verge of entering double digits in the loss column.

SWINDALL AND BLIMPY...WHAT A FUCKING BRILLIANT BATTERY!

Street just collected his 10th save. Nice.

And Chokey did come through with the clutch ground-rule double in the 1st.

Pathetics Nation takes all the credit.
