I was hoping that he would pick up a handful of K's and only give up a few runs, which he did, and utlimately get the loss, which he didn't. I fucked up!

You should have been hoping he gave up 15 earned runs, and the A's won 34-0.

Okay, I get it: Fantasy < Reality (which I already knew)
For the record: I NEVER ROOT FOR THE A'S TO LOSE! FACT! EVER! DOUBLE FACT!
I promised my friends that I'd start a riot if the A's took 3 of 4 from the Tigers, so, this evening check the news. Although, I'm not sure how much coverage a riot of one in the middle of nowhere Montana will garner.
A month and a half into the season and it's looking like all of the off-season moves have gone in favor of the A's. Gio's doing well, but the take Oakland ended up with should prove to be more impressive (Peacock and Norris aren't too far off from being roster worthy). Cahill is a solid major leaguer but is no more than a #3 or #4 guy in a decent rotation. What Cook is doing in the pen alone was worth the deal IMHO.
Must say that I'm pleased (for the time being) with the decision to remove Balfour from the closers role. He just didn't have it. Not thrilled with Fuentes, but he's looked relatively sharp this season.

Fuentes drives me crazy. I always feel like he is going to blow a game. For your sake I hope he does well

Atlanta went into St. Louis and swept 'em. 9-7, 7-2 and 7-4!
Fuck yeah!

I'm was initially against removing Balfour from the closers role, but I think there is a logical plan behind the move. Balfour is one of the best relief pitchers available on the trading market. He is not going to close for whichever team obtains him, so Beane can keep the trade value high by discounting Balfour's brief closer stint and saying, "he just didn't have it as a closer, but he's one of the best proven set up man out there." I'm not a Fuentes fan either, but he has 200 career saves, and if he piles up a few more, Beane can market him as a closer who still has it. Neither pitcher should be on the A's after the trade deadline, so this move should maximize the return for the combo, rather than getting a nice haul for Balfour and nothing for Fuentes.

Ryan Cook is beyond impressive. That's now 19.2 innings without giving up a run. Opponents are hitting .066 have an OBP of .197 and a SLG of .098. DOMINATING!
What he did this afternoon was nothing short of miraculous. Kudos Mr. Cook, kudos!
