Callaspo's 2-run double in 11th lifts Angels

Bob Melvin has little to explain about Oakland's losses the past two days: Four hits in two games is not going to amount to much. Jarrod Parker had his strongest outing yet for the Athletics in a 3-1, 11-inning defeat to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, yet he didn't get enough support from the offense. ''We're not stringing hits together and getting guys...

Game Recap 5/23/12: Playing a game of inches - Angels 3, Athletics 1

I don't know if I can take much more of this, but I'm not sure I have a choice. Angels 3, Athletics 1 The Angels are chasing .500 one pitch at a time and that has allowed for these heart attack inducing games we've seen far too often throughout the season.

Is Alberto Callaspo now trade bait?

With news of Erick Aybar signing a contract extension coming out this week, it should increase the odds that Alberto Callaspo is traded for relief help.  The fact that Aybar will definitely be around next year would seem to make Maicer Izturis expendable but I’m thinking Jerry Dipoto knows Arte Moreno did not spend the big bucks this off-season to use an unproven back-up at shortstop...
