A's vs. Yanks: who will have the better record in the second half?

It all matters in the win loss column for Zito. 4-4(with 2 ND which his team lost so the team is 4-6) is just no where near good enough for an ace. Is Harden and Haren gonna carry them when their bullpen cant pitch anymore? A's are gonna plummet in the second half its just gonna happen.

Yeah, and the Astros are 8-9 when Roger Clemens starts.

Gimme an over/under on A's wins over the next 80 games.

At least I understand the game. There are a lot of dipshits like that guy who just wear the cap and shout JETAH! I understand the statistics and the game background.

I agree that the Yankees will do better, but you are a stupid Yankee fanboy. Honestly. Wins and losses are irrelevant when measuring the success of a pitcher.

Ok...so the way i put it was wrong. For the A's to be successful they have to win games when Zito pitches not because its necessary but Zito will give them a chance to win. What I was trying to say was it didnt happen in the first part of the season. Not gonna cop out though, I was an idiot, just putting it out there. And by the way, I despise the Yankees and hate "the boss" with a passion. The only Boss i know is Bruce. The Mets will be the #1 team in New York soon enough.

The friggin A's do this every year. I was going to mention them as a favorite to win the wildcard back when they were like 10 games under .500.

I was also looking for the A's to rebound in a big way. I don't know if they rebound far enough to get the wild card, but I'd be willing to bet that they get close. I hope they get there. I've been a closet A's fan for 30 years and will root for them when the M's are sucking. What's the O/U on Bavasi losing his job here?

I would be willing to bet someone a relatively large amount, a couple hundred, on this. I don't think I'll get any takers though.

pyhtag records, since a lot of you take them seriously:

.543 and .516, I'll let you guess which one is which.
