It was discouraging to see the A’s stop hitting, even though the last couple of games have been meaningless.  It’s hard to imagine the Cardinals blowing it against Milwaukee now, and Detroit’s got to win against Kansas City this weekend. … Continue reading →

It was kind of a shame that the A’s couldn’t give Zito the runs he needed to win in his last regular season game.  I wonder if the Cardinals are really going to choke away that huge lead they had … Continue reading →

Last night Kielty did a very un-Kielty like thing in swinging at the first pitch and not making a quiet out.  He in fact hit a grand slam.  Saarloos got into about as much trouble as Indiana Jones in the … Continue reading →
