Loading ...Staturday: Should the A’s sign Jason Giambi? (Athletics Nation: Front Page Posts)
Posted October 3, 2008 at 8:12 amAnother feature in this increasingly misnamed series.
I have heard “Bring back Jason Giambi” ideas floated around AN a lot recently. What a silly idea.
We already have the exact same player, only better. His name is Jack Cust. Perhaps you’ve heard of him: big guy, strikes out a lot, running for mayor of Oakland in the next election cycle.
Cust is a left-handed hitting DH who won’t …

Posted September 29, 2008 at 9:45 amThank goodness it’s over!
That’s about the best thing you can say about the A’s season, especially the second half. It’s been miserable to watch, so I can only imagine how much of a grind it’s been for the players involved. Incidentally, the final numbers: 75 victories (their fewest since 1998); 51 players used, including 24 [...]

Posted September 28, 2008 at 12:58 pmThis is it ladies and gentleman! It’s been real, it’s been fun, but I can’t say it’s been real fun. The A’s 2008 season ends today and we are all wishing it ends on an upnote as the A’s attempt to salvage one game of a series against one of the worst teams in major league baseball. Fireballing lefty Josh Outman takes the hill for …

Posted September 18, 2008 at 4:03 pmFor a closer with 59 saves, Francisco Rodriguez sure doesn’t always seem like the lights-out pitcher that you would expect to be attached to that record, any more than the Angels themselves look like the team with the best record in baseball right now. In a game that looked like it would be an easy win for the Angels, the A’s were able to rally …

Posted September 18, 2008 at 11:59 amAfter last night’s awesome, very satisfying come-back win (well, all except the part where our Ziggy got hit by Teixeira; who is no longer a favorite of mine), the A’s look to sweep (yes, I said SWEEP!) the Angels, and take the season series, if you can believe it.
Shoddy defense by the Angels helped ice the game in bottom of the ninth last night for …

Posted September 18, 2008 at 11:32 amTime to throw one out to the readers today. The return of Travis Buck on Tuesday and Carlos Gonzalez and Chris Denorfia last night has created an outfield that resembles a flock of sheep. No way they’re all going to get a look over the final 10 days. So the question for you today is [...]

Posted September 18, 2008 at 8:43 amWe have discussed the A’s crowded outfield situation to some degree before, but as Aaron Cunningham and Ryan Sweeney continue to rake and Travis Buck starts to look like his old self, things in the A’s outfield picture are looking increasingly promising, and increasingly crowded. When you add Carlos Gonzalez and Chris Denorfia to the [...]

Posted September 17, 2008 at 5:16 pmThe A’s clubhouse is taking on that crowded look of spring training. Carlos Gonzalez and Chris Denorfia were recalled before tonight’s game against the Angels. Neither is in the lineup tonight, but Bob Geren said he’ll do his best to spread out the playing time between the seven outfielders he has now. It’s eight if [...]
