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. .

A's 5, Red Sox 1

A's Split Tokyo


A's take second game of Japan series, then catch red-eye back to the States. Harden is magnificent on the mound; Emil goes from goat to hero. And Manny is still a punk.

Red Sox 6, AAA's 5 (10 innings)

Sayonara, Street


On a night when everything seems to be going right, it all falls apart at the end. Blown save and baserunning blunder doom Oakland. Boston is the toast of Tokyo.

A's 4, Yomiuri Giants 3 / A"s 10, Hanshin Tigers 2

Ret's Go, Oakrand!


A's kick off their Japan trip with a pair of wins against the Yomiuri Gomiuri Giants and Hanshin Tigers. Ninth-inning rally in first game wakes up Beane-brain. That's right, Asslickers -- your beloved GM was caught on TV snoozing in the stands!

Dice-Gay's Got

A Brand-New Bag




Overweight, overpaid BlowSox hurler packs his murse for the trip to Japan. Players threaten boycott. Huston Street likes to watch.

What a pain in the back

Banned from Japan


Pathetics Nation orders Senor Choke to stay at home. And when the Anti-Blez talks, the AAA's listen. The last thing Japan needs is another whiny gaijin soiling our shores.
