Today’s grab bag of talking points comes after the A’s squeaked out a 2-1 win over the streaky Cubs. A good and important win, if frustrating because the A’s faced a flammable SP and had to eek out a victory by the seat of their pants. But they did so all is well for a […]

It’s almost time folks. The A’s are set to begin their road trip with the series opener in Chicago against the Cubs. We need a win desperately and to shake these bad vibes off. A big road trip, which includes a trip to Houston later, would help wipe away these tough past couple of weeks […]

Last year, I chose to call the team visiting the Cubs this week the “Sacramento Athletics.” That usage didn’t really catch on, and since MLB and most media (including baseball-reference.com) are just calling them “Athletics,” that’s what I will do — until they complete their move to Las Vegas. And that’s true even while I […]
