So the A's have thrown in the towel. No sooner had Billy Beane shipped off Rich Harden, Chad Gaudin and Joe Blanton, the team has taken a nosedive straight out of playoff competition and even in danger of falling behind Texas in the division standings. While it was always expected, it still heart-wrenching when your team stumbles and management decides the season isn't worth salvaging.

But of course, being the fans that we are (and I know how many A's fans there are out there in FN, just waiting for my next A's blog), give us a little bit of winning and we want more. Its obvious even at this early juncture in the season, for the A's to make the playoffs (now that would have been a crazy statement a couple of months ago, but now mmm, not soooo crazy.
