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.

Pathetics Nation 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 14, Angels 2
By The Anti-Blez on Monday, April 28, 2008
Rally Time Frank Thomas goes 3-for-3 with a single, double and -- gasp -- triple as A's rout Angels. Oakland now in sole possession of 1st and owners of the best record in the American League.
A's 3, Twins 0

Sweeney's
Last Stand? Amid rumors that the A's might bring The Big Hurt back to Oakland, Mike Sweeney shows some power of his own. Is it too little, too late? We hope not. Sweeney is one of the good guys in baseball, and has always been a favorite of ours. Do the right thing, Beane-o: Let Thomas find a job elsewhere, and keep Sweeney around.
A's 13, Royals 2
By The Anti-Blez on Friday, April 18, 2008

By The Anti-Blez on Thursday, April 17, 2008

Mariners 4, AAA's 2
By The Anti-Blez on Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Felix The Rat AAA's are no match for Mariners ace. Hernandez earns complete-game victory. There is no O(ffense) in Oakland.
White Sox 4, AAA's 1
By The Anti-Blez on Tuesday, April 15, 2008
Windy Shitty Lack of big bat is beginning to bite back. Oakland manages just one run against the Chisox. Will Beane-o reach out to Bonds?
A's 2, White Sox 1
By The Anti-Blez on Monday, April 14, 2008
The Suzuki Method A's catcher goes 4-for-4, increases average to .370. A's win again. And Nick Swisher still looks like an ass.
Indians 7, AAA's 1
By The Anti-Blez on Sunday, April 13, 2008
Reality Check Just when you thought this team might actually be good, AAA's lie down, play dead. Beaned Again!

By The Anti-Blez on Saturday, April 12, 2008

C.C. Sa-biatch-ia Oakland slaps reigning Cy Young champ around for second time in a week, then barely hold on for the win. Blanton finally gets some run support.
A's 3, Blue Jays 2 (12 innings)
By The Anti-Blez on Friday, April 11, 2008
Take Off, Hoser A's put the big hurt on Fatty Frank, complete a three-game sweep of Toronto. Coo-roo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo!

By The Anti-Blez on Sunday, April 06, 2008
Run Support?
Fat Chance Blanton pays hefty price when teammates' bats fall asleep. Indians score 2 runs to sink Oakland ace. But he's still better than Zito.
A's 6, Indians 1
By The Anti-Blez on Saturday, April 05, 2008
1 Little, 2 Little... Eveland dominates the Indians, A's win second straight. .500 ain't looking so bad right now.

Dirty Deeds
Done Duke Cheap Duchscherer looks great in 5 innings of work. Then his arm falls off. Oakland holds on for victory.
Red Sox 5, AAA's 0
By The Anti-Blez on Wednesday, April 02, 2008

Red Sox 2, AAA's 1
By The Anti-Blez on Tuesday, April 01, 2008
Dice-KKKKKKKKK'd Matsuzaka fans the AAA's nine times. Papelbon finishes the game by striking out the side. Oakland fans get a preview of what to expect over the course of the next 159 contests. Beaned again!
