Trip #12, to the end of the road 87

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 ...

Home’s last stand 98

Ten more games for the home fans to see what Mister Fisher’s penury hath wrought.

Road trip #11, Southeast of Disorder 84

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 ...

Sooner or LAA-TOR (Home 11) 48

A. Love is gonna getcha? B. A change is gonna come? C. They’re just going to deceive you?

Road No. Ten (Brian) Downing’s old team and Seattle 97

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.

The Bo Derek homestand: Orioles and Royals 148

(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 ...

A Visit to District Nine 57

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 Home Nine 56

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."

Road trip 8: A bunch of off days with a few games in between 169

The A’s take a tour of the NL West with two vs. the Giants including a “Unite the Bay” and “Sell the Team” night tonight, then three at Coors Field and three more at Dodger Stadium. After yesterday’s off day, there is an off day between each series, one after the end of the road ...

Homestand 8: Play the prospects 144

The 70-game slog to the finish line begins with a 10-game homestand vs. the Twins, Red Sox and Astros. The Rangers’ magic number to eliminate the A’s from the AL West title is 44, and the Blue Jays and Astros, tied for the 2 and 3 wild card spots, eliminate the A’s with magic numbers ...
