The A's should win today. I'm not saying they are going to win, but they should be favored today.

Yea. And then there's the 8 spot in the 3rd.

Green & Gold Heart · 05-10-2012, 11:15 PM

That was ugly...

mirrf · 05-14-2012, 11:15 PM

I missed the fact that Donaldson is back with the team. It's nice that he got an RBI.

Green & Gold Heart · 05-17-2012, 05:53 PM

Great win today. A's got hosed on a bad call that cost them a run, and then the came back to beat the A.L.'s best team in extra innings on the road.

mirrf · 05-17-2012, 06:12 PM

We got a couple of splits with divisional opponents on the road. I'll take it.

I want the A's to sweep the Giants. I want that more than sweeping the Angels or the Rangers.

I heart Brandon McCarthy so much. He is awesome on Twitter. If you don't follow him already, you should. And now apparently he has a blog where he will write random things. BMcCarthyThoughts

I know it's not likely but I want to see the A's keep him long term because he just seems like an awesome dude.

Green & Gold Heart · 05-20-2012, 08:05 PM

One is better than zero.

I hope we sweep them when they come to Oakland.

He didn't write anything on his blog about going onto the DL. I don't follow him on Twitter, don't even have an account. Did he say anything there?

So far just:

Pretty much everyone on the team has a batting average around or below 230. Gnuh. Donaldson should not be allowed to pick up a bat anymore. If he does, it should be permanently glued to his shoulder.

To quote Harry Doyle... "One hit!? We got ONE god damned hit!!?"

For those of you keeping track, that's four hits now over a span of Oakland's last 20 innings. Are we in the Dead Ball Era again?

Green & Gold Heart · 05-24-2012, 10:15 PM

I haven't seen a game since the Sunday game in SF. Guess I have not missed much.

Hey G&G, I just noticed you're in Appleton, WI. Any chance you're going to the D3 World Series? Our local team, Whitworth, is playing there tomorrow in the opening round. Should be fun.

Didn't realize that was going on this weekend. I've got other plans but that's pretty cool. Fox Cities Stadium is so close to me I ride my bike over there sometimes.

Hope they win!

Not so lucky. Hope they do better tomorrow.

Gosh, Bartolo looks fatter than ever! Of course, that could be due to two things other than actually gaining weight:

No more slimming pinstripes.
He's not standing near C.C. as much anymore!

Faroo6 · 05-28-2012, 06:07 PM

Please let me wake up to this news.

A's DFA Coco Crisp to make room for Manny on 40 man roster. Send Rosales down and let Cowgill play LF everyday with this lineup.

Weeks - 2B
Cowgill - LF
Reddick - RF
Cespedes - CF
Manny - DH
Inge -3B
Kila -1B
Suzuki - C
Penny - SS

I know there are other factors that go into wins and losses but check his stat out.

With Coco Crisp in the lineup the A's are 8-18. Without Coco they are 14-9. Just sayin'
