Let's take a look at what is going on w/ the Evil Empire and how it may apply to cashing in on it. You all know the facts:
- Highest payroll in the history of the game
- All stars at every position
- High expectations every year, World Series or bust
- Impatient, what have ya done for me lately, I want results now owner
- Toughest media city to play in
- Laughing stock of MLB right now, w/ every non Yanks fan enjoying their demise
- Endless analysis and finger pointing in NY by the media, fans and the Boss
Now let's be realistic. This will not continue. We all know they will go on an ass kickin streak on several occassions this season and be right back in it at the end. So when will this first streak occur so we can be on them and making money during the streak? What this team needs more than anything right now is a long road trip. I am of the opinion that they will continue to struggle thru next Wednesday. They have Thursday 5/12 as a much needed off day all be it a travel one. On Friday the 13th they begin a 9 game road trip. Just what the doctor ordered to get away from the constant naggin' in NY and just play ball(a 3 game set at Oakland, a 3 game set at Seattle and 3 games at Shea). While the last three will only be across town, the streak will have already begun and it will be cross town rival Mets. The A's can't score and Seattle has not been outstanding either this year. I look for them to go 7 and 2 on this road trip and plan to play them every game. Should show a profit at the end. Just my thoughts. Then again, what the hell do I know?
GL to all tomorrow. Derby Day baby!!!!!! Wish I could be their slammin' some ice cold Rolling Rocks.
