Now that the A’s have lost 2 to Seattle, they can regain their underdog Mojo.
Watch for the mighty right bats to erupt tonight.

Ryan Sweeney
Ryan Sweeney is looking for a job. I think he would look great in a Mets uniform.
The former A does not have the power to be in Oakland but has a sweet swing!
Best of luck to Ryan.

The Red Sox have released outfielder Ryan Sweeney, according to a team release. Sweeney signed a minor-league deal with Boston in January. Sweeney hit .260/.303/.373 in 204 at-bats with the Red Sox in 2012. For his career, Sweeney has hit .280/.338/.378 in 1,719 at bats with the Red Sox, Athletics and White Sox. The Red Sox had already informed Sweeney he would not be making their 25-man roster, and he had requested his release, as Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe notes (on Twitter).

A’s show their Power
The Oakland Athletics baseball team Defeated the San Francisco Giants.
The Cuban missile was sent deep toward the Coke bottle. The crowd let out a unified gasp. Poor hairless Timmy surrendered a big fly.
Later they fastball could not get by the bearded man. It was not a splash hit but it was gone!
Harry Potter made a magical catch

Curt Smith is a lying piece of SHIT
Curt Smith is the first baseman for the Netherlands WBC team. During the game vs. Cubs in which The Kingdom of the Netherlands defeated Cuba, Curt Smith dropped a foul ball off of his mitt in the Camera area. The video clearly shows him missing the catch. He then pretends to fall over the fence and he sticks the ball in his mitt. The umpire awarded him the out ending the inning for Cuba. This was a classless move! He blatantly lied.
This is similar to where a batter runs to first indicating he was hit by a pitch. However in this case the lie is easier to spot. Did Curt Smith think that the camera was not on him ?
Back in the day in a run down play Reggie Jackson stuck his butt out the ball hit him and he was called for interference. His attempt was gamesmanship.
Arod tried smacking the ball out of a fielders mitt and was called out for interference. He crossed the line and was caught. He pushed gamesmanship to far – he cheated.
Gamesmanship is wearing red gloves and rubbing the ball to get in the other teams head. Cheating is actually altering the ball.
The umpires continued to focus on Cuban manager Victor Mesa and his communist red gloves but missed the “liegen” by Curt Smith.
This could have been a tremendous moment on sportsmanship if Curt Smith took responsibility for his gamesmanship and told the umpire he did not catch the ball, but instead it was a new low. What a trashy bitch Curt Smith turned out to be!
He showed the world and the Word Baseball Classic that you can cheat and get away with it.
Karma has sharp teeth Curt Smith and karma is fast. I look forward to see things get rectified.
