Do we have any interest in SS Escobar from the Braves? All teams are the same, I: The [AL team] execs are smart people. But the more they do to this offense, the worse this offense gets. The more they hope for things to work out, the less likely it seems that things DO work ...

I decided to list the A’s young players and prospects in order of age. If I know you, and I think I do, I know that you can’t get enough lists. First, an introductory bonus list of tastiest greens: 1. beet greens 2. kale Now then: Kilby: 2/83 Marshall: 2/83 Patterson: 4/83 Everidge: 4/83 Braden: ...

If the A’s were playing better, I could see Beane targeting this guy. Heck, even as-is, he’d be a good buy-low/sell-high-next-year acq. Chad Gaudin is still talented. Well, yeah, but … (avoids reconsidering Harden trade yet again) This is exactly what I want to see Beane/Forst saying to other teams/the media right now: The Cardinals ...

I haven’t looked at box scores all weekend so I don’t even know who the A’s have been playing, but I have read a little about their own beloved radio announcer turning on them. So the question is–will Korach be called into the boss’ office for a little chat after his recent outburst, which I ...

I’m sitting in my driveway, listening to the pre-game and reading the Chron Sunday Green sportspage as I fill the proprieter role for my little slice of the annual neighborhood garage sale. I have successfully gotten rid of an obstreporous 60 pound analog TV and a cubic yard or so of accumulated crappy kid toys ...

would you PH Nomar for Barton against a RHP with Hannahan on deck? And then have Crosby followed by Hannahan in the 9th… What the fuck… dude. Why is Buck in AAA? what is going on. I don’t care that much if they win at this point, but come on… Street hasn’t thrown that hard ...

“JP is great”? Yeesh — if this snippet is legit, I cxan see why they put it in turnaround. More legit-news-source detail. I agree: JP is great! I have no basis on which to asses this Not that that’s ever stopped me before: This is a trend, people. When the [particular MLB team med/training staff] ...
