Game #44: Deja Vu; A's Win 2-1 Behind Timely Offense and Milone's Gutsy Start

Why hello there, Miss .500. Don't you look particularly fetching tonight. We certainly have missed you. It wasn't as pretty and flashy as last night's start, but Tommy Milone's gritty, gutsy and...

Much like last night, the A's have rallied late to take the lead from a one-run deficit. We're in the bottom of the 7th inning; A's leading 2-1. Let's go bull-pen! And insurance-runs!

Well, if you didn't read the A's news today, you will notice that the A's brought up Chris Young, who will be in the lineup today. They have DFA'd Daric Barton again for the roster space. Tommy...

Game #43: Winner Winner! Homeruns By Donaldson, Rosales Back Parker's Strong Start

For six innings tonight, it looked for all the world that Jarrod Parker would end up the hard-luck loser in yet another 1-0 game, despite a brilliant start, as the A's offense was stymied by James...

Well, Parker is pitching an absolute gem, and true to form, the A's are wasting it in every way possible. LET'S GO OFFENSE!!!!! We go to the bottom of the sixth; 1-0 Royals.

Aside from calling a do-over, I don't know what else to do with this season. Today brings news of doom, as Brett Anderson is sidelined for at least another month, and that's being generous. Also,...

Game #40: Griffin Sensational, Cespedes, Moss Go Back-to-Back, A's Win

Well, now that was more like it! If you like good, solid baseball from the A's; the game where the pitching, offense and defense all showed up in the very same night, you would have loved this one,...

Well, Griffin has made it through the 5th inning allowing just a solo homerun. Meanwhile, the A's hit back-to-back homeruns and lead 4-1. Cespedes was pulled in the top of the fifth, we're thinking...

Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are Mothers of children, fur-babies, or have a mother yourselves. Mother's Day has been kind to the A's in the past, so we're hoping that it can be again today....

So we're in Yankee Stadium tonight. Funny, it seems a little empty without Jeter, Rodriguez, Granderson and Teixeira, but the Yankees are the Yankees, and the crowd is still the New York crowd, and...

Well, um. It could be worse. Straily has shown his weakness; the big fly, but the key to giving up homeruns is to keep them solo, and he has done just that. He also wiggled out of a pretty good jam...

First the good news: Milone has been AWESOME; through six with no runs. Then the bad: The A's offense can't get anything going. It's 0-0, bottom of the sixth. LET'S GO OAK-LAND!
