Will 2023 Oakland A's set modern team record for season losses?

We all had a meeting as unified Tiger fans and decided that the Bobby Higginson years never happened.

Now with that cleared up... yes, I think they will beat the record.

I quite honestly think the management is acting like a 17 year-old kid quitting at McDonalds as they leave California. It's middle finger in the air as they walk out the door right now.

They want no obstacles in the way as they steam toward Vegas. If it means burning every last remaining bridge with the city and fans, I don't think they care.

THe A's are back.

1 Game Winning streak and 5 and 5 in the last 10. and they have already have 24 wins.

They are now on pace to win 44 Games. It will be close.

will they do it? what is the new over/under?

The As are going to Vegas, Baby, whether they set the record or not, and remember, what happened in Oakland, stays in Oakland.

They will win 51 this year though.

With a record of 30-80, they will have to go 21-31 the remainder of the season to get to 51 wins...the under looks like the bet on that

I think the Oakland fans are always getting screwed. I just don't get it sometimes. I'm not an Oakland As fan, but I feel sorry for the team. Oakland has always had some rabid fans and I have a lot of Oakland items.

Everyone still thinks Oakland whenever the Raiders are mentioned. Kenny "The Snake" Stabler and his troops! Wow, those were the days! The last football game I attended was a Raiders vs. Chargers game. Not the environment you would want to take a child to. Fighting in the stands, vulgarity every where, fighting in the halls of Jack Murphy stadium, fighting in the parking lot. Crazy Raider fans all dressed up having drunken tail gate parties - it was a crazy time.

I hope the Athletics finish the year strong. I normally don't invest in up-and-coming prospects, but I invested heavily in Brent Rooker. Purchasing several 1 of 1, etc. He finally got a break with Oakland and has done well.

What's a thread without a couple of photos? Here is a Stabler autograph on, believe it not, a Hall of Fame security badge. He died just prior to his election and ceremony, so autographed Hall of Fame items with Stabler's auto are pretty rare. Also, a picture of one of my Rooker cards.

If you're an A's fan - keep the faith!

I am sticking with my earlier pick of 38.

Hopefully once they make the move, have a new stadium and new review streams hopefully they actually spend to put a worthy product on the field.

They'll need a new owner before they crawl out of the hole the current owner put them in.
