Well, Sliimy's song obviously helped. Although Friday night had us very worried, the Saturday and Sunday games were glorious. Seeing the A's offense actually scoring runs against the defending AL champs was more than awesome. It felt like a vision in a crystal ball of all the reasons why the A's really could be good this year. Nomar coming through. Giambi hitting homeruns. Travis Buck getting on base. Braden and Eveland (both members of the OAD fantasy team, natch) pitching great. And even though it isn't all unicorns and rainbows -- for example, Eric Chavez's elbow wasn't even a part of him we were worrying about -- it was incredibly fun to enjoy the beautiful weather and watch the A's play like a team that could really win some games. Yay A's!
