The A’s have had a promising start to the 2010 campaign. Some have left A’s fans weeping saying “this looks all too familiar!” But there is room for optimism, and since I’m the optimism king of my Oakland A’s, I feel it’s my duty to keep fans uplifted.
At the beginning of the season I predicted a season winning percentage of no worse than .500 in 2010. I stand by that. The A’s have the talent that goes far overlooked by the rest of the league. In fact, the A’s could surprise everyone. I’ve compiled a list of things that need to happen for the A’s to capture the AL West, and no, a miracle is not on the list.
