    Oakland A's, please

    Please go back in time and say no to trading cespedes. This lack of scoring and getting blanked is getting ridiculous. John kruk had it right when saying trading yoenis would be hurtful to the A's. U can not depend on the likes if Eric sogard and Sam fuld to be homerun hitters. Package samarijza to boston for cespedes back to make your offense whole again

    It was only a mater of time before the As came back down to earth... their record and run differential was off the charts on the positive side of variance...

    They easily could have been swept by Houston this week as well.

    Alot of people called this early on. They aren't a lock for the playoffs with the way they are hitting BUT if they get it I see them getting to the series with that pitching staff

    Agree pitching wins in Oct and that's where there fortunes can turn if they get there. Still gotta score tho you cannot get by on 0-2 runs most games relying too heavy on pitchers. Samar has to be frustrated! After spending his whole career with the Scrubs pitching like a boss and getting no run support. He gets dealt to Oak which must have made his day thinking finally run support. Then right after arrival the offense turns into a bunch of limp dikks! Ouch

    that would be a really good trade if they could do it but the Red Sox aint letting the Cuban boy go. In fact they had to get him to ensure that they could sign the other cuban star who will be sailing over to usa.


    eric sogard and sam fuld are horrible.

    when does john jaso return? he is the heart and soul of the A's.

    lol they won't make it past the wildcard game, they will have to go against an ace, which they won't score on, Billy Beane continues to prove why he is the most overrated GM in baseball.

    I really think this is just a correction, the A's are good but no way they were as good as their record at their peak. Same way the Giants had no business being 42-21

    Still 26 games left. They chose worst time to start playing bad ball but they are not done yet if they turn it around.
