Oakland A’s All-Star Break Report Card
Finally the All-Star game is here and it’s time to give the A’s their just after mid-season report card. I’ll give the team a position by position grade. Catcher: D -Kurt Suzuki has been a great defensive catcher. Once again he calls good game after good game and does a wonderful job keeping runners from [...]
TweetThe Oakland A’s Could be Buyers and Sellers
With the A’s sinking further and further into last place many fans can probably expect the A’s to become Sellers. But what may sound a bit crazy is that the A’s could and should also become buyers at the same time. While the A’s should be selling off players like Matsui, Coco Crisp, David DeJesus, [...]
TweetCould the Warriors Break Their Single Season Three Point Record?
With the lockout in full effect and not much real basketball to talk about I was thinking about what could be. If the Warriors trade Monta Ellis for a front court player and Klay Thompson starts at shooting guard the Golden State Warriors could be super deadly from beyond the arc. Everything I have heard [...]
TweetOakland A’s Have Number 1 Minor League Prospect
According to Baseball America’s hot prospect list the Oakland A’s have the number one minor league prospect this week. That player is Michael Choice. Michael is tearing up A ball in Stockton. He hit .448 with 5 home runs and 14 rbis last week. Choice also hit all 5 of those home runs in 5 [...]
TweetDorell Wright to Become a Shooting Guard?
With several of the Monte Ellis trades involving small forwards, what does this mean for Dorell Wright? One would assume that if the Warriors traded Ellis for Andre Iguodala, Lamar Odom or Luol Deng that they would take over as the starting small forward. So I would then assume Dorell Wright would be headed to [...]
TweetRich Harden Looks not so Good in Outing Number 2
After a very good first game back, Rich Harden, wanted to follow it up with a good game two against his old teammates. Unfortunately, Rich, looked anything but good against the Texas Rangers. Harden gave up 5 runs and 8 hits over his 5 innings of work. He just didn’t seem to have any of [...]
TweetAre you a Batter for the Oakland A’s?
Last night I was watching a visionary on TV. He was able to let his audience know if they were rednecks or not by giving them examples of things they might have done during their daily lives that would make them a redneck. I thought that was brilliant. Then I thought aloud, “what if the [...]
TweetCan Hollywood Help Our Lockout Blues?
I know we are all going to miss the NBA season. So here are a list of my top 13 favorite basketball movies of all time. Sure it’s not the same as watching the NBA season but at least it’s watching basketball! Right?! Well at least it will give you something to do. 13. Space [...]
TweetIs Moneyball Considered a Failure yet?
I wonder how many A’s fans blame where the A’s are now on another cheap ownership group or on Billy Beane’s failed moneyball tactics? I am not a fan of the owners. I really don’t think they care more about giving us fans a winning team than they do about giving themselves a better ballpark [...]
TweetWill Next Season’s Golden State Warriors be Stephen Curry’s Team?
Whether you like him or not the Warriors have been Ellis’ team over the last couple seasons. He has been the go to man when it counted and to be fair he wanted the ball in his hands at all times. Monta accepted and embodied the role as leader of the Warriors. Whether you like [...]
