The Battle of the Bay Interleague Series is starting to lose its steam
One of the things I really enjoyed about the Interleague matchup between the Giants and A’s is that it was a three-game set at one park and a three-game set at another. Nowadays because of the Astros’ move to the American League, it’s harder to make that happen. This year, the Bay Bridge Series is […]
Branding hashtag makes Giants Twitter give out false information
.@timlincecum joins Christy Mathewson as the only pitchers to throw multiple no-hitters in a #SFGiants uniform. — San Francisco Giants (@SFGiants) June 25, 2014 On Twitter, the San Francisco Giants brand themselves as #SFGiants. That’s their twitter hashtag. It’s short and effective. Good. But when sharing some information about Tim Lincecum’s no-hitter, they had to […]
Keith Law is the anti-George Costanza and hates on A’s, Derek Jeter
Baseball writer Keith Law doesn’t like that the A’s did a nice thing today. The Oakland Athletics gave Derek Jeter a farewell gift, which included over $10,000 to Jeter’s charity Turn 2. This is the charity’s mission statement: To create and support signature programs and activities that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and […]

New Era reveals Independence Day caps for MLB
MLB has either had teams wear red, white and blue caps or camouflage caps for their nationals holidays in the past. This year, they will be wearing the above on Independence Day. The design will use the same template and material as the batting practice caps. Crowns will be red with a navy brim or […]
MLB’s #DOMINoNo promotion is not going so well
Oops. Looks like MLB and Dominos are throwing their own no hitter. #dominono pizza for you! pic.twitter.com/k4fJMhVIhO — Dave Stawasz (@DaveStawasz) May 27, 2014 Last year, MLB had this promotion in which following a no-hitter, fans can claim a code for a free pizza from Domino’s. I did it last year and it was cool. […]
New MLB camouflage caps don’t offend me as much
Pics of every #MLB team camouflage cap, will be worn by all teams in games on May 26, 2014: http://t.co/rBmrSgITgh pic.twitter.com/upgX2V4CXT — Chris Creamer (@sportslogosnet) May 9, 2014 Compared to whatever they’ve done in years past, this is not bad. The caps still have a generic design but at least the bills are all team-specific. […]
The new Athletics road cap looks even worse in action
Scott Kazmir wears the new A’s road cap. The Oakland Athletics played their first road game of the season on Monday and with that, they wore their new road caps. Unlike the road cap of years past, this one featured white lettering with a gold trim. The cap alone isn’t bad. It incorporates the three […]

Aside from special events, […]
Athletics Opening Day was another tough way to start the season
A great sign to see. So the A’s have lost 10 straight Opening Day games. This came in part due to key players with hitless nights. This comes also with a player that somehow continues to find his way onto the roster with a base-running blunder. This comes with the new closer losing the game. […]
My 2014 MLB predictions will make you laugh
The addition of Prince Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo will lead the Rangers to the division title. Let’s try again after I predicted the Reds to win the World Series last year. Maybe I’ll get it right this time. With the Dodgers and Diamondbacks playing in about an hour start the season, here are my predictions. […]
A’s pitcher Jarrod Parker needs Tommy John surgery again
Jarrod Parker will undergo a second “Tommy John” surgery of his career next Tuesday. He likely will miss the entire 2014 season. — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) March 17, 2014 Jarrod Parker was expected to be the Opening Day starter. Now the A’s won’t have him for the rest of the season as he undergoes his […]
New A’s print ads heavily feature old green jersey
A peek at some of the A’s new print ads pic.twitter.com/aYSCeSmPbP — Jane Lee (@JaneMLB) March 15, 2014 As some of you know, the A’s are replacing their green jerseys with some new ones. It appeared at that time that it was a step to possibly remove the old identity away and try to establish […]
Oakland A’s fans upset that they were screwed out of an Internet popularity contest
Baseball’s dumb “Face of MLB” contest ended in controversy. Did Eric Sogard get screwed? http://t.co/E8IYYzRZ0A — Deadspin (@Deadspin) February 28, 2014 I am so glad this is over. This clogged up my timeline like no other this past week. (And I am an A’s fan and I am an Eric Sogard fan.) MLB, with MLB […]
Derek Jeter announces that 2014 will be his final season
I hate the Yankees. I hate everything about them. I cannot stand them. But there were only two players that I admired on that team. Last year, Mariano Rivera had his farewell tour. This season, it’s Derek Jeter’s turn. Click the above photo to his official announcement on his Facebook page. Watching him on the […]

As confirmed by Forever Collectibles, the company behind the ugly sweaters, the MLB placeholders are indeed […]
Athletics officially unveil new green alternate jerseys
It’s official now. The new green jerseys are here and I would expect them to be seen at the team’s fanfest this weekend. This matches exactly what I predicted last month. I am OK with this. It’s not great and it’s not bad. It’s basically a green version of their gold jerseys. I actually don’t […]

Is New Era dropping the 59FIFTY batting practice caps and reverting back to the 39THIRTY model?
Is the 39Thirty back? Remember last year when MLB and New Era agreed to make their batting practice caps with the 59FIFTY model? It was well-received and I was a fan of it. But was this just a one-year thing. According to New Era’s United Kingdom site (and not on the USA site) they are […]
Giants introduce new “old school” Orange Friday jersey
New orange jersey. The San Francisco Giants for the past several seasons have selected Friday home games to be the day where the team wears their orange alternate jerseys. They just unveiled a new orange jersey for their upcoming season. This new orange jersey really is actually a modernized version of their 1978-82 jerseys. In […]
Should MLB make protective caps mandatory for pitchers?
The protective caps have been approved and even a skull cap made for youth (center) has been designed. Major League Baseball has approved protective caps by isoBlox to be used by pitchers. It’s still in its experimental stage so it’s not a required deal. But if there is some evidence that these caps will work, […]
New Athletics green alternate jersey is on the way?
Are these jerseys gone forever? Remember when this cap surfaced and it was rumored that it was the new A’s road cap? Apparently there is a reason for it. According to Chris Creamer of SportsLogo.net (who shared this in his site’s message board), the Athletics are ditching the green alternates you see in the above […]
His 2014 season is history, as may be his career: so what is Alex Rodriguez’s legacy?
I’ll always remember him as the great potential that fell away with his attitude and this PED issue. He could have been the greatest, but his own ego and the pressure that came with being great got to him. Great player, but not a great attitude. So sad it’s come to this. Advertisement Share this: […]
