With Spring Training underway, it's time for one of our favorite things in all the world: Season Previews. Three years ago, they began as a semi-serious analysis and ended up as half-assed haiku. We're just gonna go with what we know. Continuing on with our preview of the American League West, here are the Oakland Athletics.
How can elephantsBalancing on giant balls
Be called athletic?
What a weird mascot
Not sure if I like Stomper...
Ben Sheets saves the A's!
Bobby Crosby's gone
So is Adam Kennedy
Also Cunningham
Who signed with the Sox?
Nomar Garciaparra.
He quit playing ball
Jack Cust is a beast
Daric Barton has a job?
Well, so does Chavez
Love Andrew Bailey,
Braden, Cahill and Devine
Ziegler too I guess
No playoffs for them
Obligatory mention
of Moneyball. Yay!

The crack of maple,
The smell of freshly-cut grass...

I can almost taste hot dogs
and beer on my tongue

Japanese Baseball:
No 'dogs, just noodles, and fish.
We have good beer tho'.
