Last chance for tickets to the Tuesday, April 7th game in Southern California! The A’s play the Angels, and there is a group of 51 of us attending the game. To purchase additional tickets (at $24/each, saving $9), we need another group of 10. My waiting list is half that number right now. If y...

A’s 7, White Sox 2 Despite the discouraging news (or crushing blow to the A’s inexperienced starting rotation; take your pick) on Justin Duchscherer regarding his impending visit to Dr Lewis Yocum, the A’s were still able to show some of the reasons to be excited for 2009 in the ga...

We have some early bad news out of camp regarding the A's opening day starting pitching: Despite a slew of ominous signs, Geren had maintained an optimistic outlook on Duchscherer's status through Tuesday, taking solace in the fact that his ace hadn't been shut down. Now that Duchscherer has been sh...

Last Sunday, I had the privilege of attending the Southern California BaseballHQ's First Pitch Fantasy Baseball Forum, led by Ron Shandler. Ironic, I know, since I don't play fantasy baseball (I objectively think I'm too attached to the A's, and would draft accordingly, leaving me with...well...the ...

Brewers 8, A's 5 After being locked in a 0-0 tie for most of the game; today seemed like just another Spring Training pitching duel, but the game clearly was front-loaded with good pitching; the Brewers’ offense broke through in the top of the sixth inning, and just kept scoring, and the A&rsq...

My new softball cleats would like everyone to know how dedicated I am to the team this year; they're not white, but they are green and gold. That's my contribution; I think it will really make a difference. Anyway, there's a game today (who gets tired of hearing that?!)! The A's open in front of the...

A’s 3, Brewers 3 Baseball apparently missed us as much as we missed baseball; today’s game had to be called in a tie after the tenth inning. On the strength of two homeruns from the unlikeliest of sources, the A’s tied the Brewers today at 3, as Bobby Crosby (barely got it out) and...

BBG Note: If you have any interest in being a part of any or all of the California Dreamin’ road trip posted last week, email me at baseballgirl1976 at hotmail, so I can keep you updated on any plans. With all of the talk of our offense on AN (and for good reason; it was abysmal last year, to ...

What: 9 A’s games in 10 days at 3 NL Parks When: June 12th to June 21st, 2009 Ballparks Visited: AT&T Park, Dodger Stadium, Petco Park Bonus Feature: The A’s are at home the previous week (June 5-11) if you want to tack on a home series to the trip, and if you want to hit all five Ca...

Chat with Ziggy today at 3! Obviously I think there are no shortage of Giambi posts on AN right now (and can you blame anyone for wanted to talk about the return?!), but I have one more to sneak in; more of a human interest piece than making any judgment calls about his upcoming performance. Man, ha...
