ICHIRO/BOONE CHOKING THEIR ASS
Ichiro in 2003:
1st Half: 8 HR, 28 RBI, .352 BA, .865 OPS, 25 SB, 22 BB, 137 H
2nd Half: 5 HR, 26 RBI, .240 BA, .652 ops, 6 SB, 11 BB, 59 H
Batting average as of right now: .309
Bret Boone in 2003:
1st Half: 24 HR, 76 RBI, .313 BA, 114 H
2nd Half: 9 HR, 34 RBI, .250 BA, 55 H
Batting average as of right now: .289
These two guys were being considered earlier in the season as possible American League MVP candidates. Not anymore.
Not when the M's lose season series to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (4-5), Texas Rangers (tied 10-10), and Toronto Blue Jays (3-4). Oakland's record against those teams? 6-3, 12-4 (they play Texas at home next Monday-Wednesday), and 5-2, respectively.
And just reading about the antenna ball commercials gets me pumped up. I'll have to be on the lookout for those spots on Fox Sports Southwest. However, they will be Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans related spots. But it will definitely be funny nonetheless.
Scott Miller's lovefest with the Oakland Athletics. The headline calls the A's "overachieving". But this isn't overachieving. They have just played better baseball than the Seattle Mariners. They are 21-8 without Mark Mulder. That's CLUTCH!
Keep this in mind when you talk about the Seattle Mariners "success" in the new millenium. Oakland has won 2 AL West Titles, compared to the 1 West title the M's won in 2001. And the A's will probably make it 3 in a week or less.
388-390 wins, so freaking what!!! Nothing to show for it except a Field Day Banner. Sounds like a broken Loverboy record. But that's the bottom line. Not Howard Lincoln's Bottom Line, but MY Bottom Line.
