Series Thread 1: So this is really happening? A’s-Phils Games 1-3 174

So the A’s are opening the season in Philadelphia for the 1st time since 1954. A lot has changed since then. Back in ’54 the A’s were a team with serious payroll issues and possibly under the threat of moving… It’s OPENING DAY ACES-BE HAPPY! Here is your A’s Opening Day lineup: pic.twitter.com/MR8BG8WzEN — Jessica ...

Game 33: An Unfair Game 56

I always feel like I’m committing some kind of social faux pas when I post a game thread before the game actually starts, but that’s how I roll. I get “fashionably  late” – nobody wants to be the first to arrive – but, heck, if you want me to show up at 8:45 don’t ask me to ...

Game 28: So, the ‘pen’s a piece of shit 145

Doo’s coming. We haven’t see Coco yet. Parker, and eventually Griffin, too, shall return. Reddick’s on a 12-game hitting streak, Ike’s had a 10-game, Butler started with one longer than that. Simply Sam started Super sweet, and Soggy’s found some socks that everyone likes. Plus, we have a Vogt. Athletics CF: Billy Burns SS: Marcus Semien RF: Josh ...

Game 141: A non playoff team is here 206

The question is are 2 of them? We clearly need to shake things up. BoMel is putting BMo in the #2 hole. Writers think it is so he can see different pitches. I just think he has seen him hbitting like #2 for the last month. Kaz tries to stop his funk of pitching and ...

The can we talk about baseball now? grill 207

Grant is dumb and will probably lose all his money (SBN warning), but I’m happy that he would take the over on the A’s. Mike already posted this in the lounge, but Balfour tore his meniscus (link by SuSlu) while throwing yesterday and will be out until roughly the start of the season. I’m not ...

A’s FAIL #01. FAILing Dawn. (with final results) 141

That’s right, FKers.  It’s time for real baseball.  Or at least baseball that counts in the regular season standings. So, it’s time for the first ever Foreseen A’s Incident List (credit to Monkeyball) game.  You know the drill.  Look at the questions.  Predict the outcomes.  Submit your answers.  After the series, score your answers.  Feel despondent by ...
