I will share a few thoughts. I hope that all these caps are the same red, white and blue color scheme. If the […]

Woohoo? Why the #Athletics nixed “Celebration” after wins: http://t.co/vXlbbsBFYM pic.twitter.com/O7q0qyZbYA — SFGate (@SFGate) April 8, 2015 If you haven’t heard the news, the A’s are using a new song to play during postgame high-fives. For many years, the team has played “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang. It’s a great song to play after a […]

I know last night they played the first official MLB game of the season, but nothing compares to the first set of day games of the season. In fact, I wish all the first games of the year were played during the day. I like the beginning of the MLB season. There is so much […]

A’s pitcher Sean Doolittle’s girlfriend Eireann Dolan is so based. What a great idea to buy tickets from fans who don’t want to go to Pride Night. Thank You Based Ball As some of you know, the Oakland Athletics will be hosting their first LGBT Pride Night on June 17.  Hopefully this will be the first […]

“Hey everyone, come and see how good I look.” #FerrellTakesTheField pic.twitter.com/HkfYV9Y4we — MLB (@MLB) March 12, 2015 As Will Ferrell continues to tour around spring training today, two things that stood out to me from this whole event. The first, and most important thing, is that all items from this tour are available for bidding. […]

The #RE2PECT hashtag was a product of Nike. How people are getting that tattooed on their body is still a mystery to me. Maybe I just don’t understand how people would get a tattoo of something like this. This one right here is leaving me speechless. Share this: Click to share on Facebook (Opens in […]

I know that they are trying to speed up the game with the countdown clock. But this just seems like a very annoying thing to have. The purpose of it is to have everyone know that the commercial break is done and they can get back to the game. So it’s a good thing. But is […]

Report: MLB to announce pace of play rule changes on Friday http://t.co/efHWy3nPve — Big League Stew (@bigleaguestew) February 20, 2015 MLB will have three new rules that will take effect today. These rules were designed to speed up the game and allow for a better flow in between breaks. These rule changes are welcomed and […]

Out of the Big Three the A’s had in their early years of dominance in the 2000s, Barry Zito was my favorite over Mark Mulder and Tim Hudson. All three pitchers were great, but it was something about that Zito curveball that just amazed me. Zito was great for Oakland and spent seven seasons with […]

The past meets the present. pic.twitter.com/AVNSPNuNN4 — Seattle Mariners (@Mariners) January 23, 2015 The Seattle Mariners have unveiled a new Sunday alternate uniform. The team already have two alternate sets (navy, teal) along with their home whites and road grays. I initially thought they would go the throwback route but instead they gave us a mixture […]

Hall Four: Unit, Pedro, Smoltz, Biggio headed to @BaseballHall. http://t.co/PaYL91y9KV #HOF2015 pic.twitter.com/omMQBVlTqq — MLB (@MLB) January 6, 2015 I wanted five to get in but it was only four. That’s fine. These four are deserving and I will be very excited to see them get in. However, I have one major problem with the results. […]

Camouflage is not necessary. Please stop. The Padres are the only team that should have it in a uniform rotation. As we approach the end of 2014 and after much deliberation, I’ve decided to do my annual uniform in review post. Today I will only show you the MLB list since it was the heaviest one […]

#Athletics trade Josh Donaldson to Toronto for Brett Lawrie, Sean Nolin, Kendall Graveman and Franklin Barreto — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) November 29, 2014 Entering this offseason, I expected the A’s to make moves. After all, they went all in in 2014 and didn’t win. As a result, the team was gutted and needed to reinvent […]

I think this is on point. I won’t undervalue Maddon as a manager. Successful managers have success when they have talented players. What makes Maddon great is that he is great with the players and he is well-liked and well-respected. Depending on what talent he inherits and how many resources he can work with, we […]

With Josh Beckett hanging it up, I will like to reminisce about the now former pitcher. Sure, he’s had some moments that were memorable (no-hitter this year) and some not (fried chicken), but the only moment that really holds any value to me is what you see above. During that time in 2003, I was […]

182 days until Opening Night. What theme nights and giveaways do you want to see next year? #2015Promotions pic.twitter.com/2A95KwMd4B — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 7, 2014 Crowd sourcing is good business. It’s great to use when engaging with fans. The only thing that could become an issue is timing. Take the A’s for example. What they’re asking […]

Thank you #GreenCollar fans for an amazing season. Best fans in baseball. pic.twitter.com/P703n2GIZK — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 1, 2014 Up until last night, I had no opinion of this. My team, for the past two seasons, did not need to play in this round so I never gave it much thought. But this year, […]

So many 2s. So much #RE2PECT. pic.twitter.com/EptrtKJeu8 — Samuel Lam (@SamuelYLam) September 25, 2014 This didn’t happen. I photoshopped it. It was an idea that popped into my head during Derek Jeter’s last home game. There were discussions of how Jeter had a double that helped start the rally to tie the game at 2-2 […]

I am no professional when it comes to ballhawking. In fact, there are studies out there that you can look up. But since I am terrible with math, I will tell you about how I do it. In the last five games in which I attended the game early for batting practice, I have gotten […]

https://twitter.com/CBSSF/status/496741344656650240 When you have autofill set, sometimes the computer will fill in words they assume you are using. Take this for example. Somehow, #Athletics became #atheism. Looks like CBS has been using the word “atheism” a lot lately. What an unholy situation to be in.

“La Potencia” is Spanish for “Power.” All this time we thought “Cespedes” was. La Potencia T-Shirt Giveaway 8/2 pic.twitter.com/QfoEWcVFK7 — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) July 29, 2014 The Oakland Athletics were scheduled to give away 10,000 Yoenis Cespedes shirts this weekend. But today’s trade of Cespedes now has the team wondering what they should do with […]

It must be Good News-Day Tuesday… We’re making ugly sweaters for every team! #MLB #NHL #NFL #NBA pic.twitter.com/fyMm9D30pk — Forever Collectibles (@weareFoCo) July 29, 2014 I have been a fan of the ugly sweaters when they first released the NFL batch. Then they released the baseball versions. Then the hockey versions. The good news now […]

#Athletics recall Evan Scribner from Sacramento and designate Jim Johnson for assignment. — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) July 24, 2014 When the A’s first signed him, I thought it was a hefty $10 million investment. But he just wrapped up his second straight season of over 50 saves. So I knew that if he was to […]
