    Tonight is Billy "Money Ball" Bean's moment of Truth

    Will the Cespedes for Lester trade go down as the worst trade in the history of MLB??????

    Lester has been dealin but the A's offense has been the worst in MLB since the trade

    We find out tonight if Billy Bean gets to keep his job.

    Where will the A's offense come from?

    This A's line-up is so weak i think JJ could crack the starting 9

    guys like Fuld, Dunn, Sogard have no chance against an elite stud pitcher like
    "Big Game James"

    Get your popcorn ready... hopefully this is somehow not a boring 2-1 type game

    A 2-1 game is only boring if the bored knows nothing about baseball - sadly, the DH has made the game more boring, but pitching and defense are exciting to a thinking spectator.

    yeah i mean a 2-1 can be exciting if they are tied 1-1 going into the 7th inning or something

    Don't think Billy needs to worry about his job not sure why anyone would jump to that conclusion with his overall resume. Oak has scored 4+ in 6 of L8 down stretch after that abysmal run. Kc new to this stage so should be a great gm!

    JJ. You haven't been paying much attention I guess to games which feature great pitchers lately.
    I would venture to say that 65% have flown Over.
    It's the games with 2 average pitchers that have gone Under in September.
    I wouldn't be terribly confident in the Under here although I bet on Under 7.

    Jon Lester has the 3rd best ERA in postseason history with a minimum 3 starts. No way he loses tonight right

    Can't wait to watch the A's implode after thier loss tonight. Beane said it himself, he's all in this year. Don't forget he traded Russell as well and he's going to be a stud.

    I imagine it's to distract us from making the right bets tonight...or to make us deathly I'll so we don't bet altogether.
    There may be some on here who will be inspired though. To each his own, but on a sports site JJ??

    JJ, a TON of people have, politely and not some so politely, asked you to change your fukking avatar. I agree with what Rollin said, to each his own... But seriously, on a sports forum??? I for one find that shit offensive & rather disturbing.. I already have one buddy laughing at this site bec the FIRST avatar he saw was your gay azz picture you posted...

    Dude, have some respect for the company you work for AND represent.. Honestly, you are supp to be the mod here & thread after thread I see people asking you to change that fukked up gay avatar & all you do is ignore people. Do you not respect the posters on here that fuel SBR & give people like you jobs??? The site asks us to be held to certain criteria, but the mods can put up homosexual pictures and crap like that & ignore people when they tell you it's offensive and just plain OUT OF CONTEXT here???

    Step your game up man, it's focking horrid at the moment, do us ALL a favor, change that shit man, SMH... If you are gay, great for you, no one cares, but stop imposing it on the public like you have been. Thanks...
