OAKLAND, Calif. -- It was only fitting that Josh Reddick, who has quickly become a fan favorite, got the game winning hit for the Oakland Athletics. Reddick's double in the bottom of the 13th scored Jemile Weeks from first base as the Athletics outlasted the Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Sunday afternoon. "It shows we never give up," Reddick said. "We've got a lot of young guys and we've got a lot of energy to last these long games. We're not going to give up no matter what the score is. We felt like it was a good game for us to have and we had some opportunities. We battled until the end and it worked out." Weeks had singled to right off Oliver Perez before Reddick delivered the game-winner, also off Perez.

"We've had some ups and downs, but ...

Reddick got an excellent first step on the drive to right center, and completed the play by making a superman dive with full extension. The grab kept Ichiro off the bases, while keeping the game at just a 3...

Josh Reddick is having an excellent first season in Oakland, and his success hasn't just been at the plate. The Athletics outfielder, who blasted 20 first-half home runs, made a fantastic play to rob Ichiro Suzuki of a hit on Saturday night in Oakland. With Ichiro's speed, he would have been looking at at least a double, perhaps more if it managed to roll to the wall. Reddick...

Spending an afternoon watching the MLB Network's MLB Tonight (which just made this sentence an oxymoron) can make a

Plesac is slightly better. One of the worst but slightly above those two dudes just mentioned,
is Joe "Migraine" Magrane, the former pitcher for...

The Oakland A's weren't expected to be potential contenders, but after winning 22 of their final 34 games before the break and getting back to the .500 mark with a 2-1 win in 13 innings over Seattle on Sunday, the club is feeling good about itself. Oakland's pitching, in particular, has been superb, which has the A's believing they can contend in the second half...

From 1971-1975, the Oakland A’s won five straight division titles and won three consecutive world titles from 1972-1974.
Then, a funny thing happened: free agency. Marvin Miller successfully argued that A’s owner Charlie Finley had violated the terms of Catfish Hunter’s contract, thus making a free agent, free to negotiate with any team. Baseball’s reserve clause was history...
