I watch the A's every game. Their pitching is damn good. Their bullpen great. They have a young but pretty damn talented team. If they can keep Harden healthy you have a great One Two punch with Him and Blanton. The only negative so far is that they haven't hit a lot of home runs. They hit doubles like it's going out of style and they have actually been stealing bases this year. 9 so far I think. Not sure if they can completely compete with the Angels but time will tell.
