    Billy Beane in Oakland scavenges for players cast off by other team who turn to gold in Oakland. Cashman tries the same trick but all of his "catches" turn to shit. Putrid display of baseball by the home team tonight.

    A’s taking these Yankees to the wood shed. Yankees, even when they had a 2-1 lead in this game, were never
    really in the game. ....not with the way BaBoone used his pitchers. The turning point of this game occurred
    when an apparent DP in 4th inning was overturned and gave Yankees a bases loaded no one out gift.
    And all they got was a 2-1 lead. From there on lack luster play & inept at bats opened the door for these
    A’s to secure a well earned victory.....at the courtesy of a generous ‘fake’ manager.

    Knowing that Biggie was starting gave me bad vibes to start. He looked like he was in pain when going to the club house.

    ^^^^^and to top all of this....this game was televised on national TV with Bob Costas & Jim Kaat.
    This game pleased many Yankee haters across the nation. Just grand!

    The A's have got their mojo against the Yankees. (Damn) With Biggie going on IL, I hope Sev is finally through his simulation phase and comes back ASAP.
