I watch the games. I soak in as much commentary, blogs, write-ups, podcasts, and television exposure as I can. If it has the Oakland Athletics name on it, I take it in.
I do it because I love the game. I write because, for me, it’s cathartic and presents the opportunity to share my baseball perspective with like-minded fans.
Today, I’m going to take a bit of a different route with this blog. We’re going to get to the A’s and the starting rotation issues that presented themselves in Houston, but first I feel compelled to talk about a dark cancer that plagues the game that I love.
