Why are the Angels winning more than their
"Expected Won/Loss" record, computed daily by the ghost of
Pythagoras and then transmitted through K-Rod's hands whenever he exalts skyward? Why are they winning far more than their very modest "run ...
Here's an odd one: The A's continue to
talk with the Pirates about left fielder Jason Bay,
but a trade remains unlikely — the Pirates want more than the A's are willing to give. The A's are trying to build a long-term contender as they ...
"I don't think the A's would want that,
he doesn't really fit there need of right-handed power,
simply because he is left-handed." "Besides, who wants 2 .230 hitters in the same lineup? They are both left handed no less..." Remember, being left-handed ...
Justin Duchscherer, Oakland's All-Star right-hander, has been traded
twice in his career, and while he tries not

After completion of the recent C.C. Sabathia deal,
Indians GM Mark Shapiro implied that the team still
isn’t far off from contention in 2009. In order to make that a reality, one can reason the Tribe would need to add a right handed middle of the line-up bat (LaPorta anyone?), find at least one starting pitcher who can pitch...
I decided to keep the standard “Hello world”
message since in this case, it’s appropriate. This is

arrived.

While the Oakland Athletics were only six games

Harden to the Chicago Cubs, I don't think many people were expecting the A's to actually catch and pass the Angels. Obviously, Billy Beane didn't ...

Oakland designated hitter Frank Thomas, sidelined almost two
months because of right quadriceps tendinitis, has been cleared
to start a running program on Friday.
Mets might be interested in the Oakland A’s
closer Huston Street.
The following is commentary and interviews from yesterday's
(7/20) Sunday MLB on TBS broadcast between the Oakland
Athletics and the New York Yankees with announcers Chip Caray and Ron Darling, and interviews with Bob Geren of the A's and Joe Girardi of the Yankees.
As a follow up to the Rich Harden

Vazquez's pitching was hot, but the batters were
not, so the Sox lose to the Rangers 6-1
Richie Sexson finalized his contract with the New
York Yankees on Friday and was immediately plugged into
the starting lineup against Oakland left-hander Greg Smith.
Are the Sox interested in Huston Street, and
what would that mean?
Now that the Oakland Athletics have traded Rich
Harden , Chad Gaudin , and Joe Blanton I
don't think there's much doubt left that Billy Beane is probably going to try to ship his closer, Huston Street , to a contending team as well. At this point, ...
(07-20) 04:00 PDT New York -- A back-and-forth
game between teams that entered the day with identical
records came down to two Oakland relievers missing with two pitches. Huston Street blew his second save opportunity in a row, sending the game into ...
The Phillies acquired RHP Joe Blanton from the
Athletics for three minor leaguers; 2B Adrian Cardenas, LHP
Josh Outman and OF Matthew Spencer. The Diamondbacks acquired 1B Tony Clark from the Padres for RHP Evan Scribner. Clark waived his $500,000.00 no trade clause in order to go back to his 2007 club. The Yankees have a preliminary

In our first post-All-Star Game rankings, the Boston
Red Sox just barely ranks ahead of the Chicago
Cubs, but the big story is the Milwaukee Brewers. The addition of CC Sabathia to the rotation to Sheets and Parra help the Brew Crew jump 11 spots to #4, the highest they've been all season. On the other side is the Oakland A's, dropping 8 spots to #15 after trading 2 starters.
Johnny Damon couldn't talk his way into today's
lineup, even as he made it clear to manager
Joe Girardi that he's ready for a return, as the DH. "There is nothing more I need to do," Damon said before the Yankees' 2-1 victory over the Athletics...
