Not really sure if this is a smart move or not, I mean, it's Oakland, I am sure they could use some 'star' power. Either way, I doubt he finishes the season.

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball |
