Oakland A's

I said it earlier in the year after watching them play, if they hadn't traded away their two best pitchers from last year, and got one more bat, they'd be a decent team.  I guess I was wrong.

They are a decent team and are a bat or two away from being a good (ie wild card) team.  Also, let's face it, they are hot and their run differential suggests that over the long run, they are a little above .500 team, not quite wild card caliber, especially in a division with the Rangers and Angels.  But still, the A's are a lovable.  Always have been.  Also, the Coliseum is a pitchers ballpark, so it always skews pitching stats.
