Blogging for Karma

I bought season tickets again for the A’s this year.  I’ll be going to about 40 games at the Coliseum (McAfee now…used to be Network Associates…and before that the Oakland-Alameda County).  With the departure of 2 of our big 3 (Mulder to the Cubs and Hudson to the Braves), I thought we might stink it up pretty badly…but from watching the first few games of the season, I have high hopes for our new starting pitchers and the two that we already know.  Zito is in his usual early season funk, but he’ll get over it.  Harden is money.  Haren will be as good as he was in St. Louis.  I have faith in Joe Blanton and think he’s gonna be solid.  Only Saarloos and Yabu worry me…so we’ll see how they do as the season progresses.

I’m impressed with the bullpen so far this year.  Adding Kiko, Cruz, and Street has given us a little more depth…and those guys definitely look better than a couple of guys (that I won’t name) we had last year.

Ok, I’m just stoked that we beat the Jays today.  Let’s get a little home winning streak going…
