No, it’s not your 2010 Oakland Athletics DeLong on the Taibbi Kerfuffle Poppy bait Ugh. Please, no, especially after cutting Cust loose. At least we won’t be signing Matsui And we can all go back to comfortably loathing Lackey — even more so! Interviews with Calcaterra: here and here Countdown to Ezra Klein’s position suddenly ...

This still doesn’t make sense to me The A’s have just announced that they will not tender a contract to DH/outfielder Jack Cust, their top home-run hitter in 2009. TINSTAAFK
