Great game today. Another walk off.
Milone pitched great today no walk and 10 K's. Cespedes is playing like a beast.

I wish Milone would have gotten the W, but all the matters is that the A's got the W.

Oh ****, I had no idea that's how well he was hitting. That contract is a steal on our part.

Tonight may as well have been another walk off. Brandon Inge go ahead HR in the 8th. Cook couldn't save the game after playing three straight days in a row, so in went Doolittle to seal the deal.
Also, Cespedes with that shot! Batting Average now at .306

Awesome to see how well the team is doing. I was at the game today and there were A LOT of Yankees fans (which usually happens) but A's fans held it down, it got the loudest I've heard it get at an A's game in a long time. Awesome series.

It's crazy to see the Cahill, Gonzalez, and Bailey trades paying immediate dividends.
Much respect to your club.

I think I did pretty well.Of course Miggy is done, come on. The team isn't expected to compete this year (realistically), so I just want to see some fun players to watch when I go out to the park.
Great Storylines:
C- Kurt "The big Hurt" Suzuki put on 20 lbs of muscle this off-season, goes on to hit 25+ bombs
1B- Chris Carter breaks out of his "bust" titleand hits 30+ bombs
2B-Jemile Weeks continues where he left of last season, hitting .300+ and swiping 40+ bags
SS- Cliff Pennington plays great defense,but also hits marginally above .275
3B-Over-the-hillMiguel TejadaBrandon Inge provides a solid defensive option at 3rd, while returning to his roots in Oakland and putting up arespectable .240 BA.205 BA
OF1- Coco Crisp does what he do, but don't get injured, and make his granmama proud by stealin7040 bags
OF2- Yoenis "The Cuban Missle" Cespedes has a monster year, with splits of .320/.394/.462 while leading the surging A's offense deep into the regular season...
OF3-Someone named Seth Smith or Reddick orCowgill orGomesor someone elseplays solid right field and hits above .260
DH Manny Ramirez, fresh off a 1.5 year suspension, hits 17 homers in his 100 games he plays, and doesn't make a complete fool of the orginization
Not my fault, if he wasn't injured he would've been next in line before Cook.

Milone's stuff is by no means dominating, but he just goes out and pounds the strike zone and lets the terrible Royals hit/run into outs. I don't know how well it'll pan out against Texas or the Angels, but I like his style.
Sizemore's injury really hurt this offense, Billy needs to go get an everyday third baseman real soon.
Speaking of positions the A's suck at, Barton is now the clear everyday 1st baseman???I'd much rather have Carter in there. I know Barton's a great defender and an on-base machine, but there needs to be some power out of the first base position. 0 for 3 with a walk or 1-3 with a walk and a single isn't going to cut it for me (fangraphs actually had a great writeup on that today).
Spot on, Trav.
I was probably high.:\
And we did. And now we're 7 games above .500.

might as well keep playing Sogard at shortstop and give him a shot to hit over .215

I. Am. Down. Sure he has a terrible work ethic, sure his offense and defense have both fallen off drastically these last couple of years, but he still (sadly) puts up twice the numbers any of our SS do.

i would give
colon/brandon
+krol/peacock
+ choice (plus power, always hated his swing, but granted no one loves it)
and they would want
head/green somewhere in there too
like you said, his work ethic is poop, so i dont really wany him here
this wont happen, so ill stop...

Hanley/Rollins/Headley/Escobar would all be nice upgrades but it all depends on the cost. Our farm system isn't deep enough to give up top prospects unless we're getting a stud back.
