Oakland A's: 21 games over .500 at season's mid-point

Swept a tough Marlins team this weekend to finish at 51-30 for the first half of 2014.

They've done this despite losing two parting pitchers to Tommy John surgery before the season began (A.J. Griffin, Jarrod Parker).

51-29. But since they play in the middle of the USA, people can't notice them.

So far, they've only had one of their games air on ESPN, and it was a road game against the Angels. Meanwhile, they continue to show the Red Sox and Yankees a bunch, despite their unremarkable records.
