Fake Jox->Orioles for not-zero return Stu Sternberg threatening to move Rays out of Tampa-St Pete area. Uh-hunh. My money’d still be on contraction of the Rays and A’s. Dodgers gaming the Rule 5 So that whole story is a fable that people on ESPN like to tell. Alaskan midnight baseball re: the whole McChrystal kerfuffle, ...

And we are the proud new owners of this guy. Better than nothing, but not by much. A career 3.81 ERA in AAA, plus too many walks.

Go Greens, smash State. Better Green than Dead. Power emanates from the barrel of a….wait, scratch that. We have no bats from which power emanates. A’s face Kelly Leake tonight. He’s not the skinny kid with the bad teenage facial hair any more. No, waitâ€¦he is so! Aâ€™s pitchers are done hitting this yearâ€¦well, at ...

Cahill vs Suppan. Suppan sucks, and today’s a Hallmark Holiday; I hope he doesn’t have some heartwarming story about being raised by his grandpa.

Huh. Well, I guess since it’s carpenter, it doesn’t really matter since we’re going to get -3 hits anyway, but I don’t think the decision to start Jackson instead of Cust makes much sense at all. Jackson and Cust I could see, with Sweeney or Jackson playing CF instead of Rajai. Whatev. Mazzaro for the ...

19.8 words per sentence A missed opportunity. Not sure why the A’s never pursued Gomes the last several years. A speedy CF who’s also “an extreme ground-ball hitter and along with a very high strikeout rate”? No, thanks, we have all we can handle here. “If someone in California MLB has a cure for cancer, ...
