O's 2, A's 0

Today the A's had two hits and scored zero runs. Ho-hum. Yawn. I'm glad I didn't watch.

Should we even look at the this upcoming week as the make-or-break week of the season (three in L.A. and four in Seattle)? Or is this season already broken? It's really hard to get excited about it, but if they sweep both series, they'll be a game over .500 and, at worst, 6.5 games behind the M's and 8.5 behind the Angels.

Maybe today's the day to go put five bucks on the A's with their 4.8% chance of making the playoffs.
