With the regular season over, teams are facing an offseason filled with golf rounds and hot-stove strategy.
But we're not going to let them get off that easy. No sir. No way. In an attempt to bring some closure between franchise and follower, we're giving a blogger from each team the opportunity to give a�concession speech for this year's squad. Up next is our friend Ben Koo of Awful Announcing and Bloguin . He wrote the 10 best things about being an A's fan for us earlier this spring.
My fellow A's fans: Today I stand before you not as the bearer of bad news that our season is come to an end, but rather to memorialize the conclusion of a historic journey that will be etched into our memories for years to come.
On this sad day, I concede that our dream season is over. I concede that my enthusiasm and pride for the A's found a new low a third of the way through the season and that I gave up all hope after a demoralizing nine-game losing streak. I concede that finding ourselves in last place and universally deemed a laughing stock eroded my pride and faith in the A's to a dark place that I'm ashamed to admit.
But when the smoke cleared, it turns out that I never loved a team as searingly as this one and the ride from worst to first will live on in my heart forever.Phil Mickelson
