An Early Christmas Present



As a diehard Oakland Athletics fan... there hasn't a lot to cheer about the past few weeks.  But this morning I woke up and discovered that my favorite player is returning to my favorite team.

Hopefully, he can turn things around for both himself and the struggling Athletics.  Worst case scenario... at least he'll bring some stability, a solid defensive glove, and veteran leadership to the A's pitching staff that has recently started to struggle.

Welcome back Kurt!

Happy Friday and sayonara!

Odd, most of the Phillies that come back do so for 1 day so they can retire as a Phil!!

I'm happy too! Suzuki is one of those that I cannot see in an other uniform ohter than the A's green and yellow.
I noticed Suzuki when I got him in my first year playing fantasy. He was awesome back then. Hope he brings some life to your A's.

Heard this on my team's broadcast today (the announcers regularly discuss the baseball news as the game goes along).

Had to check in here tonight ... you certainly called it, just a few weeks ago.
