One Giant Leap for San Fran-kind
Posted on 29 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
California and baseball, they were made for each other. They go together like hot dogs & mustard, guacamole & chips, politics & debate. Kismet. Long before Walter O’Malley (Dodgers) and Horace Stoneham (Giants) moved their New York business interests cross-country to the Golden State (‘58), the game of baseball was already well-situated on the Pacific Coast, producing such gems ...

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...

Both were much loved and rather cozy in their ...

Revisiting the Cahill Trade and the Gio Market is About to Heat Up
Posted on 16 Dec 2011 by Josh Muller.
Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, the Oakland A’s traded all-star pitcher Trevor Cahill to the Diamondbacks for prospects. My initial reaction was that it was fair for both sides and I maintain that stance. I am confused about the timing, though. The talk of the town has been about Gio Gonzalez and Andrew Bailey (which I’ll get to later) and then Billy Beane does the unexpected and trade...

MLB 2011 Preview: American League
Posted on 16 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
2010 has faded into our collective memories and the annals of the long and storied history of baseball record. Joey Votto and Josh Hamilton's respective MVP trophies place them in the company of Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Willie McCovey but are their teams ready for another postseason run? Can the pitching and pop gun Giants eke another title in the West or will the Dodgers and Rockies ...
