Coco Crisp apologized for his DUI arrest. (USA Today)
"Obviously I'm embarrassed," he said. "I'm sorry; the sorry is genuine. A lot of people look up to me and, obviously, this was a decision that was not the right decision. One thing I don't want to ever be -- and I feel that I am right now -- is a distraction. I don't want it to be a distraction for any of players who have to answer questions for myself."
(Twitter)
Sorry to everyone! my family, friends, MLB and my fans. I know I let a lot of ppl down and again I am sorry. I'll talk more 2morrow, Gnite.
Former A's OF Travis Buck, now with the Indians: "Baseball is so fun again." (BANG)
Buck, 27, referred to things he put up with "both on the field and in the clubhouse" with the A's but declined to identify which individuals might have been the source of that.
"Half the time I didn't know my role, and the communication was kind of nonexistent," he said. "I was so screwed up in my head to where I wasn't able to be myself."
In the A's defense, Buck's various health setbacks -- which ranged from oblique injuries to postconcussion syndrome to shin splints -- left them with no choice but to explore other outfield options.
Still no news on new stadium, Wolff getting fed up. (Sacramento Business Journal)
"They’ve had time enough to explore anything," Wolff told Bloomberg. "We’re getting close to the point Bud is going to make a decision."
A's pick a new lawyer. Someday, this will be PaulThomas, no? (SF Business Times)
In his new position Kraetsch will be responsible for all legal and human resource matters for the baseball club.
Prior to joining the A’s in 2007, Kraetsch was an attorney at the law firm of Leo & Weber PC in Chicago.
Can't recall if this has been posted, but Will Carroll's excellent Team Health Report. (Sports Illustrated)
The A's are getting more serious about getting this part of their team out of the bottom of the rankings, bringing in former Rays assistant Nick Paparesta to rebuild the medical staff. There are new doctors as well, but we'll see just how quickly, if at all, they can turn things around. Bob Alejo, the S&C coach most known for his work with Jason Giambi, still wields quite a bit of power in the organization and any sort of "not on the same page" issues sap the possibility of a turnaround. With a lot of risk on the roster, Paparesta's got one heck of a challenge this year, which is why no staff should ever be judged on one-year numbers.
Jerry Crasnick tracks former can't-miss prospects such as Lastings Milledge and one-time A Jeremy Hermida. (ESPN)
Predicting which young baseball prospects will hit it big is always an exercise in craps shooting. But, as one veteran scout recently observed, "Toolsy outfielders are the biggest hit-and-miss players of all." If you doubt those words of caution, just remember the names Wily Mo Pena, Ruben Rivera, Chad Mottola, Darnell McDonald, Joe Borchard and Mike Kelly, to name a few.

I do hope Buck does well
He’s always had all the skills. Well, except for the staying healthy one…

He was always approachable and nice from the stands....
He was actually willing to talk about his intense Yoga club that he, Harden, and Dan Johnson did on the side together.
I am very curious who rubbed him the wrong way in the clubhouse.
Don't all three of those guys have injury issues?
Better lay off the yoga, gents.

"I want you... to Down Dog... as hard as you can."
"As the tag line of my favorite dirty joke would have it: 'Keep your hat on. We could wind up miles from here.'" ~Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus
And to celebrate, here's a song I cut & pasted from the Internet myself....
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Well it’s time to celebrate your birthday,
It happens every year.
We’ll eat a lot of broccoli, and drink a lot of beer.
You should be good and happy that there’s somethin’ you can eat.
A million people every day are starvin’ in the street.
Your daddy’s in the gutter with the wretched and the poor.
Your mama’s in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four.
There’s garbage in the water,
There’s poison in the sky.
I guess it won’t be long before we’re all gonna die!
(Chorus)
Well, what’s the matter, little friend, you think this party is the pits?
Enjoy it while you can.
We’ll soon be blown to bits!
The monkeys in the Pentagon are gonna cook our goose.
Their finger’s on the button, all they need is an excuse.
It doesn’t take a military genius to see
We’ll all be Crispy Critters after World War III.
There’s nowhere you can run to,
Nowhere you can hide.
When they drop the big one,
We all get fried.
Come on, boys and girls, sing along, okay?
(Chorus)
Well, there’s a punk in the alley, and he’s lookin’ for a fight.
There’s an Arab on the corner buyin’ everything in sight.
There’s a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed.
Seems that everywhere you look today, there’s misery and greed.
I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun,
But that’s no reason why we shouldn’t have a little fun.
So if you think it’s scary, if it’s more than you can take,
Just blow out the candles,
And have a piece of cake.
(Chorus)
(wow!)
(Chorus)
And a pinch to grow an inch!
—Happy Birthday – Weird Al Yankovic
Is Weird Al an A's fan?
I guess it won’t be long before we’re all gonna die!

Screw Buck
I am so sick of these punks bad mouthing the organization after they are jettisoned. No class, regardless of how he was treated, he should keep his mouth shut. Publicly lambasting an organization just makes you look trite and petty. Guess he did not mention anything in the interview about not being able to stay healthy, or not being very good when he had his multiple opportunities on the field. New organization? Sorry, new uni, new park, new team, same old Buck.

There needs to be a Travis poll
Choose between Cup’s “I hope he does well” sentiment, and OP’s “I’m so sick of these punks”.
Me, I’m with Cup. I want Travis to be awesome in Cleveland. So awesome that a year from now he’s grouped with Andre Ethier, Nelson Cruz, etc, as one of those guys we never should have let get away.

It boils their attendance problems down to not having a face of the franchise.

I mean, maybe they’re phony and obligatory, but even if so that’s still better than the alternative, which is to be a dick and not say all that sorry stuff that you’re supposed to say.

If I were around in the 50's, I'd'a been a rock star.
I’d’a been all like, “Buddy… why the f**k are we touring in the North in the winter? Let’s take Richie and the Bopper and go play Cuba and Mexico instead.”
Then I would have had Colonel Tom Parker killed and started a supergroup with Elvis and Bob Dylan called the Traveling Dingleberries.

then, after the inevitable drug problems and years of irrelevance, i.e. the 80's
I’d storm back with a major comeback, recording with hip producers and experimenting with modern sounds, until finally, I call a major press conference, announcing that I’m getting a sex change operation so I can unseat Madonna as queen of the pop charts.
I’d die in the early 2000’s, and Lady Gaga would eventually wear a dress made out of my skin.

Feel free to get on board.
Face it… you’re going to feel disappointed if the A’s have a bad year, whether you were optimistic about it in advance or not.
There are many good reasons to be optimistic… The rotation is better, the bullpen is better, Willingham and DeJesus upgrade the outfield. The bench is better. The Rangers are a 90 win team, and the Angels probably aren’t even that good. They’re banking on Hunter and Wells and a healthy Morales, and they’re not going to get good seasons out of all of them, maybe not even out of any of them. Seattle is looking terrible.
This division is ripe for the taking.

Ha ha. Spring brings optimism to everyone.
I laugh because up here I can read all sorts of articles about how this could be the Mariners’ year. Erik Bedard is back and healthy for a full season, along with more greatness from Felix. Carp and Mangini look great and either one could be this year’s breakout young star. Figgins/Gutierrez/Aardsma should bounce back from an uncharacteristically bad season. Defense is still good. Division is weak. Etc etc.
Not saying that’s not bullshit. Just saying that it’s easy to believe the bullshit in spring, no matter where you are.

I know that feeling
I felt it around year 3 of when Gruden was coaching the Raiders….I’d love for the A’s to be the big boys on the block again.
I want more Bash Brothers and less Moneyball A’s but that’s just because that’s what I grew up with and loved.

So about once a week or so I go on the Raiders SBN site because stupid people make me laugh
and the site tried to give some sort of spam or spyware that my virus protection blocked and then warned me from going on the site….I think that’s a sign.
But seriously, folks....
When you're right, you're right.
And its sad, but I’m pretty much over the franchise, too. Been a fan for 40 years, but there needs to be a major reinvention for me to continue.
I could go either way on the team right now
I was not a Cable fan and I think Hue Jackson has some potential but the team needs a GM who doesn’t want to play football like it’s 1968…. I just wish there was a website worthy of Raider fans on SBN.
But seriously, folks....
