My A's just finished a 21-6 month of august. Things are looking good. And they pulled that off with Street, Crosby and Harden on the DL.

Frank Thomas turned out to be the bargin of the year ($500K plus incentives) and probably will come in runner up in the Viagra comeback player of the year.

That Mark Mulder trade sure did turn out well for us. (A's got Dan Haren, Kiko Calero, and Daric Barton. Cards got Agent Mulder who went all mental and seemed to have totally lost his mojo)

Milton Bradley (aka The Gamer) has been the 5-tool player that he always had the potential to be and being away from Jeff Kent has improved his on field attitude too. Just watch him - he's been pretty jovial all season. Playing with Nick Swisher will do that to a guy. Too bad we had to give up Andre Ethier to get him though.
