The A’s are tearing down more than their team
It sure looks funny when the MLBPA claims that the establishment of a draft lottery is something of a win in the new CBA, in a bid to prevent tanking from teams, and on the very first day they can do so, the Oakland Athletics trade their best pitcher (Chris Bassitt) for one prospect and […]
Look at these toads
It was a great weekend for those posing as journalists who are more interested in acting like bullhorns for the lizard people who want their messages out.
