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. .

Joe Blanton pitches a complete game. But so does Jarrod Washburn. Guess who won. (Ah, that was too easy.)

I would like to nominate Eric Chavez for something. Weakest ground ball DP to end a game EVER. Stop crying to the ump, that was sad.

I did learn that Chavvy has the second most 2 strike hits in the league this year. 14 of his 23 hits for the year with 2 strikes. So only 9 hits with less than 2 strikes tells me that Mr. Gold Glove allows himself to get behind in the count too much. And from what I'm seeing, he doesn't put much into those 2 strike swings.

I would think that if I know he gets behind in the count a lot, so would the opposing teams.

Yeah, I heard Kuiper talk about Senor Choke's 2-strike hits, too. And I thought to myself, "This is what the team is paying $66 million for?
