Today was Fiesta Day at the O.co Coliseum, and the Athletics celebrated by giving the Texas Rangers a going-away party.

But this weekend’s beatings were made somehow worse by sad promotions — like Friday’s Italian Heritage Day, which featured a warmed-over Rat Pack trio who drew well-earned boos every time they appeared, taking some of the heat off the A’s terrible defense.
