Flashfire

2-0 A's after three thanks to a comedy of error on the part of the Rangers.

Way back when the A's last faced Brandon McCarthy, they knocked him out of the game early on their way to a 6-1 victory. What's that? You say that was just a week ago? Oh. Well, how about the time...

Recap of Oakland's 6-1 victory over Texas.

Well, we made it to a new thread. It's been a long and mostly unexciting game but the A's lead 6-1 after seven and Rajai Davis is having another one of those good performances we've come to enjoy.

Last night's game was fun, wasn't it? Good to see them get to Scott Feldman and the bullpen for an easy win after the first five innings went scoreless. As Texas begins to slip back in the wild...

Recap of Oakland's 11-3 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Oakland got a safety but Chicago's on the board with a field goal. The A's remain comfortably in front, 9-3 through six.

So far, so good. 7-0 Good Guys A's after two.

Following a day off on a holiday (boo, hiss) the A's open a quick two-game set in Chicago with the South Siders before another day off on Thursday. I must have missed the memo clarifying that the...

Recap of Tuesday's Oakland/Seattle game, won in ten by the Mariners 4-2.

We're here because things didn't go so well for the green and gold in the bottom of the eighth. Oh, and because Branyan just missed a walkoff.

2-1 A's after they scraped together a run. On to the eighth.

Both teams have crossed the plate once after five innings and Ed Crosby is senile insane stupid amusing.

Game two of the series in Seattle pits Brett Anderson against Ryan Rowland-Smith. The Mariners will again be without Ichiro Suzuki, nursing a calf injury, but he is expected back in the lineup...

Recap of tonight's A's vs. Yankees game, won by New York.

Well, it got bad fast. 7-2 Yankees going to the bottom of the 6th. For those of you looking for something else to do tonight, you have your excuse.

Four innings in and it's not the cleanest of games so far. Mazzaro's on his way to another short outing but the A's have a couple solo homers. 2-2 as the A's waste a great chance to score.

Suzuki gets Sabathia back after a pitch is thrown behind him, then fielding failure leads to a Yankee run. 1-1 going to the bottom of the 2nd.

After one of the most improbable victories last night, the A's and Yankees meet up again in the second of their three-game series. Tonight's starters will be CC Sabathia and Vin Mazzaro. Mazzaro...

I'm not sure when (or if, I forget) Nico has a continuation thread scheduled but the first one's had a lot of comments and the game's been pretty quick so here's a new one. 2-0 White Sox at the...

Recap of the A's vs White Sox on Friday, August 14

The Baltimore Orioles beat the Oakland A's 3-2.

The A's took the lead but gave it right back. 3-2 Orioles going to the seventh.

1-0 O's on a fluke RBI "groundout" off the end of Melvin Mora's bat in the second inning (the end where the hands go). Pennington's heads-up throw home on a grounder saved a run in the third and...

All of a sudden the A's are pretty fun to watch again. They're hustling and scrapping, and when the team isn't that good as a whole that's all I ask for: effort.  Winning more often than they're...

A three-run rally in the ninth followed by two more in the eleventh propelled the Oakland A's to a 9-8 victory against the Boston Red Sox. Adam Kennedy had five hits and Mark Ellis four to lead Oakland's 21-hit attack.

A surreal ninth inning sees the A's score three runs off Jonathan Papelbon with the aid of Tommy Everidge's first Major League hit, a double off the very top of the Green Monster, and some very bad...

The A's got one back. 6-3 Red Sox after seven. I wouldn't normally talk about another game but Chicago's Mark Buehrle just lost another perfect game and no-hitter in the sixth in Minnesota, but he...

The plate ump is not fair. Geren got the thumb. Mazzaro lost it again. 5-2 Boston after four.

"The A's are scoring! The A's are scoring!" -- Paul Revere's...well, whatever generation a descendant would be in 2009. 2-0 Oakland after two.
