    I've often asked myself that question many times over that great run they had a few years back, and I still haven't came up with the answer.

      Also Baltimore. Same story.

      Out of the hitters on BAL and OAK, only 1 of them would start on a decent hitting team --- Brian Roberts. Seriously - the rest of the hitters are absolutely pathetic.

      Other shit lineups
      SAN DIEGO
      San Francisco
      Kansas City
      Washington
      Cleveland

        Moneyball baby.

        They play small ball - they move runners over - "Productive outs" - and, the pitchers keep them in the game.

              They play super small ball, when they get a hit the umps must count it as a run out of sympathy. 33 wins, more than Yanks or Mets, hard to believe

                  Moving runners over is the opposite of Moneyball

                        They do it every year with a low payroll too, they prove you can win with average players.

                          Intersting how Oakland and Baltimore are both among the bullpen leaders.

                            Same ole, same ole seems like to me. They are one of the teams I rarely bet.

                                F*ck me...I am an idiot for betting on them because I thought the line on the Angels was too good to be true.
