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. .

Nobody Beats Seattle

16 Times In A Row


A celebration took place on the field following Monday night's game at Safeco Field, but it wasn't the AAA's who were jumping up and down. Seattle overcomes 6-run deficit, snaps losing streak against Oakland. Angels win again, trail by 5 games with 6 left to play.

Not In Our House


If Oakland is going to clinch the AL West title, it won't be at the Coliseum. Angels deny AAA's again. Magic Number stuck on 2.

Party On Hold;

Angels Stay Alive


Oakland sends a fat boy to do a man's job, and Blanton fails miserably. Magic number remains at 2.

Senor(ita) Choke


Eric "Senor Choke" Chavez and his absolutely pathetic performance since signing a $66 million contract prior to the 2004 season was a major reason we started Pathetics Nation. (You might even say he is our poster child.) And Mr. Mediocre continued to solidify his reputation in tonight's game, going 0-for-4, leaving two runners in scoring position and erasing a leadoff runner by grounding into a double play. Sure, the rest of the team played like shit, too. But Chavez, the de facto captain, deserves most of the blame. Beaned Again!

Not Too Bad

For An Old Guy


At the ripe old age of 38, Frank Thomas continues to put the Big Hurt on opponents. Career homer #485 sinks the Sux. Eat your words, Ken Williams, eat your words...

The Sweet Smell

Of Turd's Success


Billy Beane's $21 Million Mistake throws some nasty shit against the White Sox. Ozzie Guillen goes ballistic over beer ban. Who let that fucktard become manager in the first place?

Only Clowns

Play In Tents


Pathetics Nation returns after our three-day boycott of Dumb-ball in the Twinkie Dome. Bring on the White Sux! (And the T-shirt salesman thought he'd gotten rid of us forever. Not on your life, bitch!)

Rays Flush

The Turd


Billy Beane's $21 Million Mistake is pitching like shit again. Raaays dump AAA's. Why do you think they call him "Loo-aiza?" (That's British humor; I don't expect the Asslickers to understand.)

Another miserable season for the Rangers winds down. Oakland comes back for the win. Assaheim Anals keep pace.

Touchdown

Rangers!


Texas defeats Oakland by a touchdown and two-point conversion. AAA's embarrass themselves, big-time. Lead now down to 6.5 games. Are Barry Zito and Jay Payton gettin' ready for some football?

Now Playing...


Billy Beane's $21 Million Mistake continues to pitch like his shit don't stink. Oakland reams the Ori-holes. And Pooh-thetics Nation deserves all the credit.

The A's are in a pennant race, and all Tejada can do is watch. Oakland now 8.5 games in front. Baltimore now 20.5 games back. Enjoy your early off-season, Miggy.
