-Strike through- called!

Sigh. Well, once again, the A's batters failed to show show up for the game ... um, wait a sec. {fiddles with rabbit ears} The A's got a few baserunners on, but couldn't come up with timely 2 out/2 strike hits ... hold on. {pounds on top, sides of TV} The A's short relievers gave up a handful of...

Phew <wipes profusely sweating brow>

Man, wasn't the bullpen supposed to be the unquestioned strength of this team? Alan Embree surrenders a three-run bomb whereas he was lights out at the beginning of the year. Huston Street wobbled, but thanks to Melvin Mora bunting for who knows what reason, Street was able to get out of it. I...

Eight Is Enough, And Eight More Is Plenty

The problem with the A's is that they can't hit. Something sure turned things around in a hurry...Was it Scutaro's dramatic homerun, this year's version of the Kendall homerun (note the singular) which jumpstarted the A's offense last Summer? Was it the chance to face what the Rangers call...

Bring out the (mini) brooms!

Well, it was awfully considerate of Vlad and Howie Kendrick to watch the game from Los Angeles, instead of being in the lineup. Even with our missing Milton Bradley, I think that still worked out to our advantage. From a throwaway line by one of our announcers, it seems as if Bradley could indeed...

Necessity: Mother Of Invention

For at least one day, Bobby Crosby made fools of the non-believers, lining a solid single (granted, on a hanging curve I could have hit) but then cracking a big 3-run HR in a 4-1 win. Watching Crosby during those first two at-bats, something looked a little different: He looked relaxed in his...

MARCO!

Wow. Talk about bittersweet. In the 7th inning, it was "season over" as Rich Harden left hurt. In the 9th inning, it was "game over" as arguably the best closer in major league history faced Scutaro with the count 0-2, two out, and the A’s trailing 4-2. Boom. "Fair or foul? FAIR!" The parallels to...

Buck The Fronx Fombers!

Give it up for the kid. Travis Buck with an electric triple, and this time he went the final 90 feet. How fitting for the game to end with Mienkiewicz desperately firing an offline three-hopper from the seat of his pants, the likes of which we hadn’t seen in a major league game since—well, since...

May The Best Manager Win

Score one for the rookie. The story is no longer about offensive ineptitude, it's about how it all ended so differently from how it started and continued, with the A's, shutout right down to their last strike, finally scoring--and then scoring again to win it 2-1. Bob Geren made all the right moves...

I'd Like To Challenge the Angels To A Bullpen Duel

First of all, it must be said: I can’t remember a series, even watching the A’s all last year, where a team was so consistently terrible at hitting with runners in scoring position. Well, unless you looked across the field, where the Angels seemed to struggle with the exact same disease. It became...
