I freakin’ hate the Yankees. Losers of 3 in a row in New York – momentum gone – 9.5 games behind Texas – starters shelled (mostly). REALLY PISSED Read the rest of this entry >>

[Insert cartoon sound effect of screeching brakes]. That pretty much sums up Trevor Cahill at Yankee Stadium tonight. All of his Cy Young dreams vanished with a couple of swings of the bat. Read the rest of this entry >>

I will admit it – I have been on the verge of writing off this A’s season a number of times. But just as I’m ready to emotionally detach, the A’s somehow find a way to win one more game to stay within striking distance of the Texas Rangers in the AL West. Read the rest of this entry >>

First off, I think it’s important to note that I have not yet written off the A’s. I stress ‘yet’ because it’s starting to look a little bit bleak.

How many people knew that Trevor Cahill was one hit away from breaking a record held by Nolan Ryan? I didn’t until I read about it last night. Actually, Cahill tied Ryan’s record of consecutive starts pitching 5+ innings and giving up 6 hits or less. Believe it or not, Cahill and Ryan both did that 20 times in a row.

Wow – brutal series against the Twins. I don’t know what else to say except for the fact that the A’s are now 10 games back and it’s looking bleak for making another run at the Rangers for tops in the AL West. Read the rest of this entry >>

Boy it took every ounce of everything I had to admit publicly that the Giants might actually have figured it out and that the A’s might be on the path but are at least a year or two away from their rivals across the Bay. Read the rest of this entry >>

Finally, it took a couple of injuries, including one to Daric Barton but it looks like the long-awaited arrival of Chris Carter is here. Read the rest of this entry >>
