A's John Jaso still bothered by shin injury, returns to catcher
The Oakland Athletics would love to get John Jaso back into the everyday lineup, and it looks like that may finally happen. Up until yesterday it has not been possible to get Jaso behind the plate since his injury. Jaso suffered a shin injury a week ago, and he had yet to catch a game until last night. With one game back at catcher under his belt, the team hopes Jaso can stay...
Justin Masterson Continues To Be Masterful
The Yankees and Indians played a double header in Cleveland this afternoon and they split. Each team won by shutout. In game 1 Justin Masterson threw a complete game shutout with 9 Ks, and the Indians won 1-0. Their only run came off the bat of Jason Kipnis, who hit a solo home run in the 1st inning. David Phelps suffered the loss, allowing just 1 run in 6 2/3 innings.In game 2,...
Ichiro's outstanding catch robs Jaso of lead-off home run
Ichiro Suzuki has finally started to heat up at the plate this season but it never seems like the rifle-armed Yankees outfielder ever cools off in the field. Just ask Oakland's John Jaso after the nimble Ichiro cleanly snatches this ball and robs the A's catcher of a sure-fire lead-off home run.
Nobody was happier to see Ichiro reach over Yankee Stadium's right field...
2013 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix, April 30: Replacing Giancarlo Stanton
Giancarlo Stanton has hit the DL with a hamstring issue. To add insult to that injury, he injured his hamstring on the last of five hitless at-bats. Couldn’t have tried to leg out an infield hit in the first, Giancarlo? Jerk…
I won’t pretend to know how serious the injury is or how long he might be out. People may be disseminating such information on Twitter at I’m writing...
A’s Pound Boston Red Sox 13-0 To End Losing Streak
It was a dark and stormy night, but this is no horror story… At least not for the Oakland A’s it wasn’t.
The A’s snapped their four-game losing streak Tuesday night with a 13-0 pounding of the Boston Red Sox in a game that was called due to rain in the seventh inning.
Oakland jumped on the board in the third inning and pushed six runs across the plate in the top half of the...
3 Stars of the game: Game 20
At about noon today I thought it would be fun to see how much Red Sox tickets were on stubhub and well the cheapest ones were $7.50. I couldn't pass up a night in Fenway for that price no matter what the weather forecast was. Well turns out that was a bad idea, a very bad idea. It rained all night, Aceves was awful, the bats were silent for the Sox and the game was called after...

2-0, Bright Lights, Big Dreams
Well, yesterday was Opening Day, and since the Mariners got a new jumbotron (the largest in MLB), the big kahunas upstairs thought it a good idea to open up the parking lots, and invite the whole city to Safeco Field to watch the Mariners take on John Jaso, and the Oakland Athletics. I went with a friend, and what a treat! The grass was green, the playerless field was huge, and around...

Last year, Felix Hernandez made history, throwing a perfect game on August 15 against the Rays.

To be fair, Jaso...
