ENERGY IS WHAT BATTLE DEPENDS ON.
The Art of War

Here we all sit. Together, with dry, gaping maws.

• How could things have gone this badly?


• Where is the resolve?


• How can I show my faith when it is constantly ripped from my chest?


• Is this the end of the A's run?

And here are a few questions directed at readers; When did it finally hit you that something was wrong?

• When the Rangers started printing and selling playoff tickets last week?


• When the Angels started printing and selling playoff tickets last week?


• When the Marks (Redman, Mulder, heck, throw in McLemore) started to unravel?


• During one of the first half sweeps (Anaheim, New York, Cleveland, St. Louis, Boston)?


• During one of the second half sweeps (Seattle, Boston, Texas)?


• When Arthur Rhodes was signed?


• When Arthur Rhodes was pitching?


• When the A's couldn't trade Arthur Rhodes because he was 'hurt'?


• When the A's made a trade involving Carlos Beltran - only to get Octavio Dotel in return?
