One thing is for sure, you never know what to expect from the A's. Be it good or bad, A's baseball surely isn't boring. When it's good, everything clicks. It's a work of baseball art. When it's bad, we try to forget it. They'll be swept and demolished, then come back and look like World Series contenders. Baseball as a whole is a strange sport, long and with so much ebb and flow, it's hard to determine what's coming up next, especially when your team is the Athletics.
Still, even the bad doesn't feel as hopeless and painful as last year.
