Posted September 28, 2008 at 12:58 pmThis is it ladies and gentleman! It’s been real, it’s been fun, but I can’t say it’s been real fun. The A’s 2008 season ends today and we are all wishing it ends on an upnote as the A’s attempt to salvage one game of a series against one of the worst teams in major league baseball.
