A’s Have Traveled An Improbable Road
Posted on 13 Sep 2012 by Josh Muller.
As I write this on September 13, the Oakland Athletics have just taken three out of four in Anaheim, a little payback for the sweep the Angels handed the A’s in Oakland about a week ago. Since then, the A’s have won six out of seven games on the road. In fact, the A’s tied an Oakland record with 12 strait road victories, they have a one game cushion for the top wild card spot and only sit...

Roster Shakeups: Colon Suspended, Anderson Back, New SS
Posted on 23 Aug 2012 by Josh Muller.
Wow, what a difference a couple of weeks make. I apologize for my recent lack of posting but as I mentioned last time, I recently got married and as you probably could imagine, was a little busy. Everything went great, my wife and I had a blast and everybody was shaking his or her behind on the dance floor. What more could you ask for? (Oh, and the A’s won that day). Now, back to baseball. ...

A’s First Half Report Card
Posted on 11 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
The All-Star break has arrived and at the symbolic halfway point of the year the Oakland A’s, rather surprisingly, have the same number of wins (43) as they do losses. And though they trail considerably in the standings to the Rangers and Angels, who are first and second in the AL West respectively, there is a ton of baseball yet to be played. But what’s even more intriguing is that, with t...

The A’s are Proving Doubters Wrong
Posted on 6 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
It’s just over the halfway point in the season and the Oakland Athletics are one game under .500 entering a huge home series against the Mariners. With a series win, the A’s will have the same number of losses as they will wins; with a sweep, their victories will exceed their defeats. Either way, the A’s have proven that they are not a team to be overlooked. I’ve mentioned this before, ...

So Far, So… meh
Posted on 25 Apr 2012 by Josh Muller.
To be perfectly honest, the Oakland Athletics lack one key component to be a perennial contending team: talent. Through the first three weeks of the season, the A’s look better than the 100-loss team most experts predicted, but are still far from being relevant. This becomes all the more evident while watching the Texas Rangers explode out of the gate to a 13-4 start with about a thousand hom...

Our First Look at the 2012 A’s… in Japan
Posted on 31 Mar 2012 by Josh Muller.
I’m not a fan of Major League Baseball starting it’s season in Japan. The games are on super early in the morning (the first wasn’t even televised live), no one seems to be paying attention and now that the two games are over, the A’s and Mariners will return to the states to finish up spring training. What?! The entire situation is weird. I get that MLB is trying to expand its brand to...

A’s Trade for Colorado’s Seth Smith
Posted on 16 Jan 2012 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland A’s have traded for Rockies outfielder Seth Smith in a deal that sends pitchers Guillermo Moscoso and Josh Outman to the Rockies. When I look at this deal independently from the surrounding events of the A’s offseason, it’s a pretty good deal. Oakland clearly receives the best player that fills a position of need and he comes at a decent price for the next couple of years. How...

So Who Goes to the Pen?
Posted on 5 Sep 2011 by Brendan Sennott.
The Yankees beat the Orioles in a sloppy Labor Day affair at Yankee Stadium 11-10. A win is a win as they say and the Bombers have now won 5 straight. They are 2.5 games up on the Red Sox for first place in the American League East. The magic number to clinch a playoff spot is down to 14. Jesus Montero has burst onto the scene hitting his first 2 big league homers while Jorge Posada is...

Trade Winds Blow Past Bombers
Posted on 3 Aug 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The surprising news out of the Bronx at the trade deadline was that there was no news. Brian Cashman sat back and didn't make any moves. I think this was a smart decision. The Yankees are in a good position to make the post-season, although they currently trail Boston by a game. They are very protective of their minor league talent, and, let's be honest, no one on the market was that attractiv...

So Close, but Yet So Far
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Derek Jeter sits six hits from 3,000, however, he also resides on the Yankees' 14-day DL. His team is just .5 games behind Boston in the AL East, however, if the Red Sox' recent clobbering of the Bombers is any indication, New York really needs to step it up. That's going to be hard considering that arguably their best pitcher and definitely their most pleasant surprise this year, Bartolo Col...

TRADING DEADLINE APPROACHES
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The MLB Trading Deadline is July 31. Historically speaking, this is the time of year when teams who have fallen out of contention try to “sell off” their big contract veterans by trading them to contenders. An especially interesting wrinkle is the caveat that most shrewd baseball General Managers try to exchange well-paid veterans on expiring contracts for minimum salary blue chip prospect...

It’s Gettin’ Hot in Here
Posted on 11 May 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The heat is on in Yankee Universe. Tampa Bay continues to breathe down the Bombers' necks and sits just one game out of first. The good news is, however, that New York's bats have begun to shake off the spring sluggishness as we head into summer. Derek Jeter and A-Rod finally seem to be turning things around at the plate, but it's not like any of the regulars have been hitting the cover off the...
