They left a little upset.
A's have been stinking it up lately...
But not nearly as bad as this man, who's been pulling his hair out as a result of being their manager:
Everyone should keep an eye on this well-known rules-dodger...
And defenitely keep that mustachioed guy away from Sosa!
Is that a needle in your pocket or are you happy to see Sammy? Someone get Frank Francisco, and pull up a chair...
It's time to take Texas to the cleaners, again.
2 for 1 special. We eliminate your basketball team, we'll take out your baseball team FREE.
The lineups...
Your Oakland A's!
