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.

Orioles 8, AAA's 3

Addicted to .500
 Every time Oakland seems poised to move a few games over .500, the team comes crashing back down. Which means updating this site is not a whole lot of fun anymore.
We love it when the A's play well, but we also have a lot of fun when the AAA's are pathetic. When they simply hover around the .500 mark like a bunch of junkies, it's boring.
As boring as today's 8-3 loss to the Baltimore Bore-ioles. As boring as Eric Chavez's batting average. As boring as Nick Swisher's new haircut. As boring as Jason Kendall's entire American League career. As boring as Billy Beane's Moneyballs.
Boring with a capital B.
 
A's 15, Giants whatever

126 Million
Reasons to $mile  #1 -- Barry Zito is no longer on the A's.
#2 -- Barry Zito is no longer on the A's.
#3 -- Barry Zito is no longer on the A's.
#4 through #125,999,999 -- Barry Zito is no longer on the A's.
#126,000,000 -- All of the above.
San Francisco's investment continues to pay off -- for their opponents. A's crush Zito, Giants. And Pathetics Nation deserves all the credit.
Royals 2, AAA's 1

Kansas Shitty AAA's
 Oakland manages just 1 run against the lowly Royals. Duchscherer does his best Kiko Calero impression. The outcome? Beaned Again!
A's 10, Indians 7

Who's Your Mommy?
 Jack Cust is greeted at home plate by someone who looks suspiciously like his mom after hitting a 2-out, 9th-inning, game-winning home run. And he does it without a special pink bat. Happy Mothers Day!
Indians 6, AAA's 3
By The Anti-Blez on Saturday, May 12, 2007
No Hits, No Runs
1 Big Error  Billy Beane's $66 Million Mistake has another 0-for-4 outing. Plus, he throws the ball away to give the Indians the go-ahead run. Now you know why we call him "Senor Choke."
Devil Rays 3, AAA's 2
By The Anti-Blez on Saturday, May 05, 2007
Stinko de Mayo
 Senor Choke goes 0 for 5 and narrowly misses another Golden Sombrero as the AAA's lose again. Can someone please tell this $66 million turd to pull his pant legs up and start performing like a real baseball player?
A's 5, Devil Rays 2

Nick's Big Stick
 Swisher strokes a dong, A's find themselves back at .500. Meanwhile, Chavez overachieves, goes 1 for 5.
A's 5, Red Sox 4

Hugs And Kisses
 A's can't seem to win with Geren, so they do it without him. A's rally after skipper is tossed. Chavez goes 0 for 5.
