A's lose fourth straight, 3-2
The Braves' Mark Kotsay had to be smiling on his way home from the ballpark tonight, as his RBI double off an Alan Embree fastball was the difference in yet another low-scoring A's game. What won't show up in tonight's box score is that the A's were thrown out at the plate twice in the game's... Read more...

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Well, in true Athletics’ fashion, the A’s broke up Cleveland’s impressive scoreless innings streak in the second inning, not with a towering homerun, not with a solid single, but rather with a Cleveland error. Seven innings later, they scored another run on a passed ball. Oh... Read more...

Open Thread: Game 42 - A's at Cleveland (cont)
What could be worse than your offense being absolutely SHUT DOWN for three straight games, you might ask? Well, how about your number one reliever absolutely going down after throwing a pitch? Casilla served up a homerun ball and immediately left the field with an arm injury. To say that is not... Read more...

Open Thread: Game 42 - A's at Cleveland (cont)
Well, I'd like to say that the A's broke Cleveland's scoreless innings streak, but I'd be lying. Cleveland broke it themselves with an error, giving the A's their lone run. On the pitching end, Smith looks less than sharp, allowing three runs already in this game. It's bad, but if not for a... Read more...

Lather, Rinse, Repeat
Yawn. I know I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but there are days when it really rings true: I would rather lose a game 9-8 than to lose 1 or 2 to 0. Not scoring runs is frustrating; the game really does lose a lot of its fun when you watch the A’s get mowed down for the second straight... Read more...

Open Thread: Game 41 - A's at Cleveland
Well, in what seems like a familiar match-up, today's game will feature Joe Blanton against C.C. Sabathia as the A's try to even the series in Cleveland. Blanton is hoping that the curse of the 'starter who pitches very well, but ends up with nothing but a loss to show for it' went to Duchscherer... Read more...

Was Picking Up Frank Thomas a Mistake?
I know, I know, people hate it when there is premature speculation (isn't there a pill for that these days?). But I'm wondering if the A's might've made a mistake in picking up Frank Thomas. The reason? I'm thinking that Mike Sweeney is just a better hitter right now and Thomas' presence has... Read more...
