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, ...

Updating the A’s Prospects
Posted on 30 Jun 2012 by Josh Muller.
The A’s have been on a bit of a roller coaster the past week. After losing two out of three in an incredibly dramatic (and at times depressing) series with the cross town Giants, Oakland then took two out of three themselves in a decidedly less dramatic series with the Mariners. And they’ve now lost the first two of four in Arlington and sit (shocker) four games back of .500. They just canâ...

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...

What to Watch for This Spring
Posted on 8 Feb 2012 by Josh Muller.
Well, the Super Bowl is finally over which means we can all focus our attention now on a real sport. It’s less than two weeks before pitchers and catchers report to spring training and I, for one, can’t wait. I’m not sure how optimistic I can really get this year about my team’s performance specifically, but I can never hide my excitement around this time of year. IT’S BASEBALL! What ...

A’s Trade Gio to the Nats in a 4 for 1 Deal
Posted on 22 Dec 2011 by Josh Muller.
Well it’s finally official. The Oakland A’s are sending Gio Gonzalez to the Washington Nationals for four prospects, pitchers Brad Peacock, A.J. Cole, and Tom Milone along with catcher Derek Norris. My first reaction is that this seems to be a pretty good deal for both sides, with the Nationals possibly giving up too much upside. But it also solidifies their rotation significantly making th...

You Traded WHO for WHAT?
Posted on 31 Jul 2011 by Marien Hornyak.
Saturday was a very emotional day in my house. Not because our local Italian Ice store was out of my favorite flavor, but because the Washington Nationals had made two big trades. I was livid! First they traded utility player Jerry Hairston, Jr. to the Brewers for outfield prospect Erik Komatsu and then they sent pitcher Jason Marquis to the Diamondbacks for infield prospect Zach Walters...
