Why are the a's all of a sudden sucking?

Question

what happened?

Answer 1

Well, since they give away their all star pitching for free they won't win.  They still have a solid pitching staff, they just don't make good trades because they don't want to pick up any big salaries, thats the bottom line.  They could have got a 35 - 40 HR guy for Harden, the brass just doesn't want to pay the salaries.  

Answer 2

I don't know but if your team is having an 9 game losing streak you know that's not anything good.

Answer 3

They traded everyone and their mothers.

Answer 4

they traded away their pitching

Answer 5

Lets see:

They are about to set the record for most use of the DL.(Chavez season-ending injury)

Traded Harden and Blanton.

Street have blown a lotta saves over the last month.

Answer 6

We traded our pitching staff away, our offense never really was all that good, we had to use the DL way too much, and Huston Street sucks.  

Answer 7

They traded their pitching and they didn't have a really good offense.

Answer 8

they have always sucked

Answer 9

Unless you are an extremely avid baseball fan, nobody outside of the Bay area can tell you 3 players on the A's anymore...Billy Beane has totally depleted that team of notable players, and now they can be thankful that the Mariners play in the same division or otherwise they would be headed for a last place finish.

Answer 10

rich harden is gone. he had alot of wins for that team. he was an ace. they7 got rid of someone who knows how to keep a low scoring deficit for the other team

Answer 11

They seem to trade all their good players I guess
