I don't know if Billy Beane still uses the moneyball approach but it sure seems like it. Oakland third in .OBP in AL @ .333. Arte and Dip need to see... Pulling in non homegrown stars ain't what it's cracked up to be... Payroll: Los Angeles Angels $127,896,250 Oakland Athletics $60,372,500 Who is putting the better product out there every night?

Miss the Molinas.... werent they like 40+ CS%?

Ur eff'ed up man... this aint funny.

I think Pujols & Hamilton should take note!

Can Someone Please Tell Me How / Why Chris Iannetta Leads The Team In OBP?

lol yeah i am russian!

Who Is A Worse Base Runner / Slower? Pujols or Vladdy?

sometimes passion and drive can make up for "periods of adjustments". Weaver is passionate and driven for sure... Don't know much about hanson though.

no doubt. the minute we lose, people here say were toast. the minute we win were are going to win the world series! OMG, people take a freaking prozac and chill. the ship has changed directions and we get two very good pitchers back this week! relax, chill and enjoy the ride!

nah.. this beast.

nice... hanson..weaver..burnett ...jepsen.... ah jeah...hope madson will get on track soon

it would be fun. and 15 in a row would put us back in the hunt!

When is that red headed 6'6" 220 pound , what's his name.... the guy we hardly got a chance to see pitch. and sure miss a ton.. i think he is still on our team..oh yeah Tommy Hanson. when is he returning? its been like forever!

geez, i am telling you people our pitching is getting close... if we keep getting starts out of C.J. williams and vargas like we have, it will be very interesting.

chuck, man...4 games brah.... lets not get too excited. but i have to admit its hard to keep it inside.

i agree.

LO FING L! YOU ARE NUTS!

We're hitting. ..30 runs is it in last three games?

yeah i have to agree. i was optimistic about him but there is no denying it, he has to go! DFA him asap.

whatever. the writer is a douche bag.

that was the original plan maybe not right away but i am sure by all star break

A Quote from Scioscia "There's so much that can come together here in a very short time," Scioscia said. "We're definitely excited at the prospects of having a reworked bullpen here in the next week." I have to agree i am a little excited about these next few days (week). Madson about to throw a rehab Burnett is back for tonight be nice to see: Burnett for the 7th frieri in the 8th Madson for the 9th? Weaver's return is not far off... Vargas has had quality starts C.J. looks pretty locked in although sorta laboring Tommy Hanson not far away Who knows.. maybe there is hope.

LMFAO!

where do these sports writers come from? jose contreras used it in 2005 and helped win WS. where you guys been under a rock?

why u guys surprised? after a terrible spring and a terrible first month i have accepted the fact these guys aren't going anywhere.... i just watch their games now cuz i love baseball and hope that most can meet their statistical expectations.
