The game sounds like a baseball version of the&nbsp;NFL Head Coach game where you get to take total control of MLB franchise as GM and Manager. There is also a funny quote on why Billy doesn't play fantasy baseball. It's a pretty good interview and I just thought I'd let everybody know.</p> http://www.athleticsnation.com/2008/7/20/575352/my-kingdom-for-a-hitter briandouglas Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:35:21 -0000 <p>Yuck, the A's are becoming unwatchable at this point. With all the trades the magic Beane has made why can't he add a major league ready slugger? With the Giants on the downside the time is right to eat into the fanbase but not with this bunch.</p> <p>The answer seems simple enough and that's spend some freakin' money and get a straw that can stir this tepid drink. I know alot of you fans have drank the kool-aid and think every thing the magic Beane does is golden but I ask you this. Do you really think this thing is on the right track?</p> <p>It seems all the A's do is trade pitching for more pitching and minor league second basemen. The truly great A's teams have always had power hitters and right now outside of strikeout machine Jack Cust there isn't one to be seen anywhere. I'm going to go feed my dog now.</p>
