My wife was born on October 19, 1972. She was born to be an A's fan, obviously. Me? I was merely born in a year where they won the AL West ... she outranks me, you see. I may be a scout for a midwest MLB franchise that shall remain nameless, but she's the baseball boss in the family.

This blog is lame, by the way. You ban people who express contrary opinions and who don't "follow up their posts". Forgive me for having a real job and a family; I don't live on the Internet. But if you just want to keep your Pollyanna approach to the A's, then you can do so -- but you're not doing the team or yourself any favors.

I mean, it's okay for people who have no baseball knowledge whatsoever to post stupid ideas and comments as if they know the game, but you ban people who actually HAVE knowledge and experience -- just because you don't like what they have to say.

Cheers.

The last time Oakland had a losing streak this long was a 12-game skid that began with nine straight losses in September 1995 and continued with three more defeats in April 1996.
