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. .

Lovin' It


Payton and Bradley go deep, Haren goes the distance. Oakland dominates Anaheim.

Game By

Milton Bradley


Three-run walkoff puts A's on top. Komine shines in debut.

The Flake's

Farewell?


Zito walks off the mound a winner. A's back in first place. Hurler's fate now in Beano's hands.

From First

To Turd


Billy Beane's $21 Million Mistake takes another dump. Now it's the Angels--not the AAA's--leading the AL Worst.

Senor Choke

Is Smokin'


Chavez hits game-winning 2-run single, sees his average rise four points over the past two games to a mind-numbing .236. All that for only $11 million a year.

Bury Zito


Zito's days in an Oakland uniform are numbered, and as far as Pathetics Nation is concerned, the end can't come too soon. AAA's lose again.

Holy Turd-ledo!


Billy Beane's $21 Million Mistake lives up to his nickname once again. Detroit crushes the AAA's.

Third Time's

A Charm


A's come back from previous day's embarrassment to win three of four games in Boston. Oakland back in sole possession of first place.

What the...?


A day after the A's score 15 runs, the AAA's manage just 4 hits. Red Sox shut Oakland.

Blowout


Oakland bats come alive like never before. A's win by a dozen. And Pathetics Nation deserves all the credit.

Time For

A Break


AAA's head into the All-Star break with very few stars of their own, and even less hope of winning their division. Angels win three of four.

Blanton on the mound means one thing and one thing only. AAA's lose again.

It's 1979

All Over Again


Ken "Caca" Macha does his best Jim Marshall impression while arguing with an umpire during the AAA's loss to the Angels on Friday night. Oakland is one-hit for the third time this season, equalling the team's dubious 1979 record.

Suckin' Turds


Billy Beane's $21 Million Mistake makes another intoxicated case for demotion to the Tijuana donkey-show circuit. And the inventors of the Breathalizer deserve all the blame.
