That’s a deep cut for the heads out there. At nine games this is actually the A’s longest road trip of 2023. Good practice for 2024’s 162 game road trip. Answer: Miami, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee Question: What are three cities I’d just as soon have colonoscopies as visit, Alex? "Kraut will get you through times ...
Kotsay might be thinking of a different home fifth. In his playing days he was known as a wine guy; I gotta imagine it’s straight hard liquor now. It was inevitable that we’d be talking about losing this year. Riding an eight game losing streak, returning home for two series against very strong teams, then ...
It’s a divisional trip, as the A’s spend the weekend in Robert Earl Keen’s hometown, facing the Astros in a Friday night game and then afternoon games on Saturday and Sunday. From there it’s on to Seattle for four night games vs. the Mariners. Bang your trash can to the rhythm of this one.
Only 114 days till the Man burns, by which time we’ll know whether the AAs quest for historic ineptitude is really for real. Current projection is -605. Next steps on the trail, 4 against the AL West leading Rangers and 3 against the NL West 2nd placed Diamondbacks.
First stop is in one of the A’s increasingly numerous ancestral homes, Paris of the Plains. It is where Green and Gold became the team colors, but aside from that the franchise history there is pretty dang forgettable. The A’s are 6-26, the Royals are 8-24 and if either team gets swept, it should be ...
The original voice actor for the red M&M was Mel Blanc, who was succeeded by Ian MacKelleon, which I originally misread as Ian McKellen, which would have been some fine trivia. 3 vs the Reds including Earth Day a week late (featuring a breakfast tailgate) and a Tony Kemp poster, an off-day, and 3 vs ...
Ken and Vince both very emotional in their radio open. "Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."
Yes, this A’s team brings out the expletives. Now it’s Mets and Cubs. They visit on a quick six-game homestand, hoping to feast on the Athletics and their league-worst 3-10 record. In a quirk of the new schedule, by the end of the month the A’s will have hosted more teams from the National League ...
Emphasis on the “FB”, I’m afraid. Don’t want to be treated this-a-way, but that’s how it goes some seasons. First off, the A’s are going where the climate suits my clothes, in April anyway, for three in the hideous Trop. The weather really is nice in Florida in April, not too humid, not too hot, ...
A stuttering start, with an off day between Opening Day and the weekend’s two afternoon games against the Angels, and another after the Guardians leave town and the A’s head to Florida.
