Harden Returns to DL

Harden’s back is fine, but now his elbow hurts. Criminey!

This really pops my balloon. I had visions of the A’s getting on a roll, climbing back up the standings, and winning this very weak, very winnable division. I have a hard time seeing that happening now. And if Esteban Loaiza looks bad today against Cleveland, I’ll be really depressed.

Rich Harden is turning into the next Mark Prior, and the A’s are turning into the Chicago Cubs right before our eyes. You think you’re going to have a great rotation for years to come, and then poof!, it all turns to ashes. Next thing you know, all you have is Carlos Zambrano/Dan Haren and a bunch of band-aids.

1.  So the A's are more like " Al Akhdar" (nickname for the Saudi Arabian soccer team) than the "Seleçao Canarinho" (the Brazilians).

The names roughly mean green and yellow in Arabic and Portuguese.

3.  Well, let's amend that a bit:

...the A's are turning into the Chicago Cubs right before our eyes...except with competent management.

5.  So the A's are the Cubs now. Do we even have a left-handed batting practice pitcher?
