a rough stretch

Rough stretch. Winning just 0 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. On top of that, 2.1 R/G this week. Hard to climb with that kind of production.

Athletics News

The Oakland Athletics are feeling the sting of yet another brutal stretch as they drop to 0-7 in their last week, capped by a humiliating 1-14 loss to the Chicago White Sox. With a run differential of -38 in that span, things have turned icy for the team, especially with slugger Nick Kurtz now sidelined by a thumb sprain just days before the All-Star Game. On a brighter note, the A's are making long-term investments in their future, drafting promising talents like Jacob Dudan and Drew Burress, signaling a commitment to rebuilding. But for now, the focus must be on breaking the losing streak as they prepare to face the same White Sox again,can they muster any momentum amidst this dismal phase?
