A's Get an F

The Oakland Atheltics lost two in a row to the Kansas City Royals. At home. Because of that, the Royals no longer have the worst road record in the majors (the Pirates trail them by 1/2 game). Oakland fans are not happy.

It would be foolhardy to call the season over at this juncture, but every single sign seems to be pointing to the water rolling around in the sink. Whether it makes it to the drain is another question. The fact remains that this team is just bad right now.

The offense can't score and when they do, the starting pitching or bullpen isn't there. When the starting pitching pitches well, the offense can't score. When the starting pitching struggles, the offense might score, but then the bullpen implodes.

I'm more positive than this. The team is out of sync, but it's more than possible that they'll get in sync for a while, and suddenly look like a sure winner.

2 road wins in a row and Allard is out as GM! And Dan Glass is about to give up control of player personnel! Dreams DO come true!

Now what can we do with Buddy Bell? Hmmmm...
