The Dumbness of Crowds, part 1 Athletics Nation's predicitions (from GOG #00) for the AL West standings at the end of the season. We all seem pretty sure that Seattle will be in last place...
It's time to take another crack at the Mariners! Judging by your responses to GOG #00, no one here really thought that Seattle was a team to take seriously in the AL West. But that was before they...
What a difference a couple of games can make! Yeah, any sort of true-talent estimator won't be especially impressed that the A's won two of three at home against Tampa Bay (of course, the same...
After a depressing road trip that seemed much longer than 5 games, the A's come back home to face the defending American League champs. But the Rays haven't been off to a hot start either and are...
