[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

Sore losers on the part of the A's.

Call it what you want, but you have to understand the frustration: four straight years in the playoffs - four straight eliminations in round one, after going five full games. I didn't see Lowe's gyrations after the final out, as I didn't watch the game (was at a meeting last night), but as an A's fan for over 30 years, I can tell you the frustration at being eliminated for the fourth year in a row is overwhemling. They only have themselves to blame. They, and their ownership, which keeps the A's competitive enough to make the playoffs, but won't spend the money to get them over the hump. Overwhelming frustration is what it is.
