Domingo German threw the 24th perfect game in MLB history on Wednesday night in Oakland, another crushing blow to the struggling A's franchise. The Athletics were mercilessly roasted on Twitter after putting up a goose egg against German and the New York Yankees.

The main refrain was that “nothing should count against the 2023 Oakland Athletics” because of how bad the team has been.

The Athletics had not had a perfect game thrown against them since 1904, when it was thrown by the one and only Cy Young, per MLB reporter Bob Nightengale.

It was the fourth perfect game in Yankees history, giving the storied franchise 1/6th of the total perfect games ever. Another user gave perspective about how rare it is to see a perfect game, and how it put the cherry on top of the disastrous season for the A's.

One fan made sure to get a joke in about the World Series, noting that the 1988 Dodgers had a perfect game thrown against them and still won it all. The chances of the A's joining that contingent are next to zero, as the last place club sits with +100000 odds to win the World Series.

The A's are 29 games back, and 40 games under .500 at 21-61. They have the worst record in the MLB, and the few fans that show up to the ballpark wear shirts begging the owner to sell the team. Oakland has the lowest payroll in the league, and look to be en route to Las Vegas in the next couple years as the franchise goes from bad to worse.
