Good article about the lack of attention the league office has been paying to our boy and rookie sensation Logan Couture.

I can't recommend this book enough. Will Leitch of Deadspin fame has written a truly touching and memorable book about his love for baseball and what it means to him and his father. Any AN'er will enjoy it.

I saw this on Neyer's Blog, a pretty funny send up of Dallas' kingdom.

Athletics Nation San Jose is moving closer...

Athletics Nation Is Susan Sussler no longer covering the team



Anyone else noticed that the Chronicle has been running AP stories and no longer has anybody as a beat writer for the A's? Is Susan Sussler one of the many people laid off from the troubled paper, or did they just decide that nobody was paying attention this late in the season?

This also got me thinking, who is the best beat writer the A's have? I would have voted Sussler, if I could still find her anywhere.

In this morning's blog, Buster Olney had this little nugget for us A's fans:

• If the money can be worked out, a reunion of Jason Giambi with the Oakland Athletics might well happen in 2009.
