I am here because I am more obsessed with the Oakland Athletics than the average fan.

I don't know a whole lot about sabermetrics, or anything beyond the basics of A's history before I was born, or why I trust Billy Beane so much.

I come here to learn a lot more than I come here to inform, and I come here to be entertained by all of you fellow AN'ers' ANtics.

That is all.

My brother was comped a luxury suite for Rickey's jersey retirement ceremony and the game. Not the best view, but it allowed him to bring along a few people; he decided to bring along his Mom's whole side of the family, which was a blast. Someone (not sure who) splurged for the SuiteCaptures photo service.

I'm the one on the roller coaster ride.

Question: What is the greater accomplishment, the Rockets' current streak or the A's 2002 winning streak?
Answer: The A's 2002 Streak
Athletics Nation

Question: If hypothetically, the A's are in the race for the AL West division crown in July and Harden and Blanton are both healthy and pitching well, what should Billy Beane do?
Answer: Trade one especially if someone like Gio Gonzalez seems ready
Athletics Nation

Question: Would you package all of the A's expiring contract talent - Duke, Street, Embree, and maybe even Crosby and/or Ellis - if it meant that the A's could acquire arguably the best hitting prospect in the game - Colby Rasmus?
Answer: I would do this trade, or some slight variation of it, if I was running the Cards, but not if I was Billy Beane. This trade is lopsided in favor of the Cards.

Question: Initial reaction to the trade?
Answer: YES!
Athletics Nation

Question: If I were Billy Beane, I'd be willing to sign Rafael Furcal to a four-year, $60MM contract without a no trade clause this offseason.
Answer: No
