The A’s open a 33-game preseason schedule on Saturday in Mesa when they take on the Colorado Rockies. That’s the first of 29 in Arizona; there are also pairs at Las Vegas Ballpark against the Brewers on March 8-9 and the usual home-and-home with the Giants on March 25-26, before Stephen Vogt brings the Guardians ...
It’s the Ted Cruzes vs. the Kyrsten Sinemas fighting it out for the right to raise that nice trophy. The Diamondbacks would be the classic example of “do what we have to do to get into the postseason and see if we can do something special once we get there”. I’ve been down on baseball ...
The A’s get a trip to Minneapolis before closing out the season in Anaheim. The Twins have clinched the AL Central and are 5 games behind the Rangers for the #2 AL Division Champions slot (with its first-round bye) so realistically they don’t have anything to play for in this series. The Angels would probably ...
Three in Arlington vs. the sagging Rangers, then a trip down I-45 for three against the Astros. Those two opponents just played three against each other at Globe Life Field, with the Astros pummeling the Rangers by a total score of 39-10. The A’s would need to win four games of the six to stave ...
White sox in worse humidity than here Seattle should be nice. I think it’s bumbershoot weekend which is always gorgeous. Now I am wondering if Soakerville suffers from burning man overflow.
(starts whistling Ravel’s “Bolero”) Yeah, I can analyze whatever the A’s latest roster moves might be, or just close my eyes and think about Bo’s boobs. Hmmm. Two night games (Jerry Garcia Night tonight and 6:07 Saturday with a drone show) and a day game vs. the Orioles, then also two night and a day ...
Wherein the ugly, unloved, vaguely sketchy refugee Athletics are quarantined in hot sweaty unpleasant lands that no one else wants. Alex Jensen on radio pxp, up from the Stockton Ports for the trip. He’s good! "Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."
The local ballists return, briefly, to host two against the Gyros and three with the Rangers. Enjoy a few days by the Bay before the DC-St. Lou sauna trip. A 4pm Saturday start is stupid. "Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."
