Went to my first A's game of the season last night. To my dismay, Dallas Braden was pitching. I swear almost every game I attended last season Braden was pitching. I wanted to see one of Oakland's 21 year old rookie starters- Anderson or Cahill.
Basically the only reason I attended the game against the Angels last night was the fact it was blanket giveaway night. And my buddy was able to get free tickets.
It's only the beginning of the second month of the season, but I don't see how the A's can compete in their division. Their starting pitching is suspect and like nearly every season Eric Chavez is injured. I don't foresee Matt Holliday in an Oakland uniform for the whole season.
It was nice to see Jason Giambi back in an A's uniform- we'll see if he comes around and has a decent season.
Nomar Garciaparra is an injury waiting to happen. The guy like Chavez is always on the DL.
I've said this many times- I just don't see the so-called genius of Billy Beane?
