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 110 - A's at Kansas Shitty

By The Anti-Blez on Saturday, August 06, 2005

The Royals truly put the "shitty" in "Kansas Shitty."

But Oakland still has to watch out for Sweeney and Co., because shitty teams love to play the spoiler.

Let's Go A's!

Thanks, FB. And your part of the reason for PN's amazing but undeniable success. Keep tellin' it like it is.

DJ is a stud. I'm predicting right now that Johnson will have more home runs at the end of the season than Senor Choke (not to mention that DJ's average will probably be 30 or more points higher than Chokey's.)

And lest we forget, allow me to remind everyone that Beano had wanted Dumbazo, not Johnson, in the lineup every day. Even after Dumbazo was apparently not getting the job done, Beano appeared very reluctant to call Johnson up from the minors. Probably because Johnson is not your typical Moneybawl player. (He's better than any Beano-baller could ever hope to be.)

"Kansas Shitty" doesn't even begin to describe the Royals, (There is only one A in Royals because they are a class-A team.)

It's scary to think that there was a point in May when Oakland's record was just a handful of games better than Kansas Shitty's record.

Oakland wins again, but should a win against Kansas Shitty really count?

In any case, Pathetics Nation takes all the credit.

Hopefully whoever drafted DJ wasn't the same guy who drafted Lance Blankenship, because we all know how great that goofball turned out to be:

.222 career BA in six seasons with the A's.

I'll bet Lance Blankenship is much more successful in his new career as assistant manager of the Orinda McDonald's than he ever was as a ballplayer.

Tell me, Ari, aren't you at least a wee bit embarrassed to be so closely associating yourself with Lance Blankenship?
