It’s the critical weekend of the season for the Oakland A’s. Four for Texas starting with a doubleheader this afternoon. The Green and Gold take on the first place Rangers in a ballpark that serves as the A’s own haunted house during the best of seasons. Called “The Ballpark in Arlington”, its cursed quality begins with that bizarre moniker and continues as a place where 7-0 leads go to die. The A’s are eight games out and can’t fall any further back without becoming completely irrelevant by summer. And the Ranger’s pad chews up pitchers like they’re going out of style (and we don’t have very stylish pitchers to begin with).
