Always like finding random dopplegangers for athletes.  What do you all think?

Eerie resemblance?

Is Mark Ellis a superhero? Alien? Evil Twin? Clone? Escapee from an alternate dimension?

Anyone else notice dopplegangers for any A's players?

Previously I noted the similarity between Trevor Cahill and Eddie Bracken... Random and somehow accurate. Couldn't find the post in the archives though... So you will have to check that out for yourself.

Stop running the ball up the gut on first down.  Just stop it.  Please.  It's ridiculous.  I'd make this post longer, but its really that simple.  

And quick note to Mike Singeltary: it's OK to score more than 14 points, it doesn't mean your team is finesse or soft. You don't have to sit on a 3 point lead to prove your toughness.  So you too.  Just stop it.

 

Sincerely,

 

It's really not that complicated

2B -

3B - Brett Wallace

LF - Travis Buck

...along with... 

SP - Brett Anderson

RP - Joey Devine

The return of the 1999 Beer League A's?  A new reality show on Bravo?

I was thinking the other day.  Who are my least favorite A's of the last 10 years?  I'd thought I'd put this up for discussion.

These range from utterly terrible players to players who may have been good and were still disliked to guys its almost unfair to put on the list they were so bad to a special category of players that went from fan favorite to un-favorite in the blink of an eye.  Any thoughts?
