Score one for consistency?
I'm fairly convinced that Oakland will never again be a competitive team unless:
They get out of Oakland
Jesus becomes an A's fan

It seems like every Mets play is on the DL right now. Oh yeah, we're getting Jay Bruce so we can lose Cespedes at the end of the season.
Don't forget another appearance by Travis Wood in LF, including a great play that Schwarber probably wouldn't have made, or Soler either.
It wasn't quite a suicide squees though, Hewward wasn't running with the pitch, but he was jumping around.
Like Alidar Jarok said, Matusz was consistent in that he matched (ie: beat) his 2012 ERA of 10.96. He has an 18.00 so far.

Oakland has a huge mess on its hands. 3 teams in two crummy old stadiums and no money for new stadiums.
At least the A's have tried and tried and tried to "escape" and start over somewhere else. But the Giants are happy to block any move they attempt to make, and that pisses me off.
Now that the Raiders' move to Vegas looks certain, perhaps a deal can be worked out for demolishing the Coliseum and building a new ballpark on that site. The Oracle Arena's empty (or soon will be), isn't it?
The Giants claim territorial rights to large swaths of the Bay Area, including Fremont. If the A's were to move out of the area (Portland, Las Vegas, Nashville, etc.) the Giants would be delighted to see them go and have the Bay Area to themselves.
In the churning factory of bullshit that is the American sportsworld, nothing is certain.

Losing Josh Reddick hurt. 
So is Chris Sale. Far too many pro athletes are entitled jocks. It's a real turn off and it's bad for the game.^ Except the obvious fact that Yasiel Puig is a dick.
Yeah. When you have so little talent to begin with, losing anyone who's name you actually recognize sucks.Losing Josh Reddick hurt.
The thing is, the Giants only have those territorial rights due to Walter Haas' generosity and goodwill.
He was the quintessential Athletic - a scrub from the trash heap who found some talent in himself, peaked a little early, and then found a home with the Bleachers. Careless Whisper will never sound the same.
I'll trade injured Matt Harvey, recovering Zack Wheeler and outfielder Curtis Granderson to the Dodgers for minor leaguer Yasiel Puig.
Are you sure the Mets are a strong enough team to add a clubhouse cancer like Puig?
