The A's are losing again... and Wes Hoffman is fuming

It is a beautiful summer day in Oakland and the A's and Reds are playing a day game.

Naturally it is not being televised. And also naturally the A's are floundering and falling in the standings. As I pointed out earlier, the Rangers are indeed in first place and will probably eventually fall on their face as is their M.O.

If the A's hang in close to the Rangers, they could find themselves in a position to win the AL West in August.

Instead they are being slowly flushed down the drain.


As I am typing this, the A's blew a bases loaded nobody out chance.

But what can I say about the A's that my friend and Bay Area based comic Wes Hoffman couldn't also write.

He is a big A's fan and while I don't always link up other people's articles, I love his latest A's rant that you can read right here.

Keep the faith Wes.
1989 wasn't THAT long ago.

Good Eyes Wesley Hoffman

Well, first of all, let me thank SF Bay Area based comedian Wesley Hoffman for actually reading all 10 pages of my Home Grown vs. Acquired Marlins Team entry.

That's some dedication to the blog from an A's fan!

But as an A's fan he pointed out that John Baker was actually a product of the Oakland farm system, ergo was ineligible to be the home grown Marlin's backup catcher.

So here I sit at 8 AM the morning after Thanksgiving, about to have a family day... correcting my blog.

I couldn't let that mistake linger.

So the entry is now corrected with Josh Willingham moved into the backup catcher slot and seldom used outfielder Chris Aguila now gets to be included in an all time team.

Hey Chris, send the thank you card to Wesley Hoffman.

And Wesley, your prize for correcting Sully Baseball is I will promote your next gig on here.

Now I can spend this day without that weight on my shoulders.

(Maybe I should hire Wesley as a fact checker.)
