Johnny Gomes, Brandon Inge... these guys are a bunch of scrubs lets face it... wtf???? Millone is good Parker is good McCarthy is good But even these guys are overachieving no names... Its just crazy to me what this team has been doing, they are a team of has beens for the most part. Are they just getting lucky? Variance does have the capability to make an appearance every now and then after all.

Their pen has been really good for the most part. Look at the runs given up in recent games. 2 clunkers....that's it. Completely in every other game. 4 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 3 – 6 - 4 – 3 – 3 – 1 – 7 – 1 – 2 – 2 - 1 – 1

Moneyball it is, but then you go out and get josh reddick like that and then yoenis cespedes right behind him, another unknown coming into the season and look what you've got. jemile weeks is a scrapper. that guy finds a way to get aboard and keep in mind that dallas braden hasn't pitched in over a year. Brandon mccarthy is injured, how the darn does this fuckin' team even stay around .500? must be the coaching staff, the manager, the people that sit in the press box that run the team behind the scenes. i admire a team like the oakland athletics just because i respect a moneyball team like they are as opposed to a big market team that signs well established veterans for maximum contracts only to go over the hill a few years later, and if not, directly after they sign the big contract, darn that garbage man. As iron sheik would say oakland darn your behind, break your back make you humble!
