Though we didn’t sign up for this “torture” it looks like we’ll have to suffer til the World Series for the inevitable Russ Ortiz moment we’ve been waiting on.
Which is okay as long as a Series title still eludes our poor sisters across the bay by the end of it.
Unlike their bearded closer we’re man enough to man up and admit we’re a hearty 0 for 2 so far with our wishful prognostications.
We’re down to our last strike.
If by chance we’ve gone down swinging and somehow the pequenos have shed their West Coast curse, well shit.
We can always move to Tejas.
PS: Don’t forget to listen to Barry Zito’s latest hit!

By all means move to Tejas! Your schadenfreude wishes are about to be doused and all you’ll have left is the reality that you rooted for anybody but the team with the most grit in this 2010 postseason! Sour grapes for the team that represents YOUR bay area? For shame.
The Oakland A’s represent OUR bay area.
Oakland represents nothing in the Bay Area but the crime rate and failed government. Here’s a hint, it’s the *San Francisco* Bay Area.
You forgot legal pot.
Unfortunately, your russ ortiz moment will never come. Your about to get TORTURED. Love it, Learn it, Live it.
