Alright, don’t lie. You have to admit that trading Nick Swisher bummed you almost as much as losing Eric Byrnes a couple of years ago. The two are starting in new locations, but it’s Swisher that makes his Oakland debut today…as a White Sox player. No, the A’s haven’t found a way to get the fan-favorite Swisher back in green and gold, but the White Sox come into town for the 7:05pm PST start of their three game series and hopefully, the start of some winning for the Athletics...Alright, don’t lie.

Gio Gonzalez recorded his first win as a Major League player, Brad Ziegler pitched his 38th consecutive scoreless inning to start a career, and Ryan Sweeney made the play of the night, but it was a veteran that powered the A’s to victory. Bobby Crosby’s no out, two run homerun in the bottom of the second inning was all the scoring the A’s did on the evening, but it was enough to take the first of the series with the visiting Tamp Bay Rays....Gio Gonzalez recorded his first win as a Major League player, Brad Ziegler pitched his... more

Well it had to happen sooner or later, the preferred would’ve been sooner, but anyone wearing green and gold will have to be happy that it wasn’t any later than Friday night. It was a night of positives for a team in much need of anything that would change the negativity the team has struggled through since the beginning of the second half. Dallas Braden had his longest stint of the season, Brad Ziegler tied the Oakland Athletics longest scoreless streak, and Emil Brown along with Rajai Davis powered the A’s to a win over another struggling franchise, the Detroit Tigers...Well it had to happen sooner or later, the preferred would’ve been sooner, but... more

Momma said there’d be days like this. That doesn’t make it any easier to swallow though. By the end of the first inning, the A’s would need to score more than five runs to have a chance to win the game, a feat that they’ve accomplished only five games over the past 26, well now 27...Momma said there’d be days like this.
