A's evened the series yesterday with a very solid performance from Cahill. Just what the A's needed with the bullpen being heavily taxed over the last 2 games. Big series against the Red Sox starts tomorrow. Perfect time to play them!

I say the a's are gonna take this red sox series, just let the bats keep hitting and the pitching will follow up with a hood performance. Let's go A'S!!

Wow great game by the A's tonight. 5-0. Anderson was on his game tonight. 8 innings 8 k's. Can't complain about that. Close game too, until Matsui's clutch hit. Boston has not won on the road yet... Let's keep it up! Go A's!

A's back in the win column tonight with a nice 9-1 victory! Pennington with his first homer of the year and Kouz "somewhat" making up for his terrible start to the season with a home run for himself. Great pitching by Cahill again. Let's even up the series tomorrow! GO A's!

Do you see what happens when you manage good pitching AND good defense AND good hitting?

Keep it together like that I you guy's might even sweep a series or two.

Nice follow up to yesterday's game. Still got hits up into the double digits, good pitching, and good defense.

Now enough of splitting every damn series, time to get a sweep and up the confidence level of these guys, especially on the offense. If they can manage some runs early on, the pitching should be able to hold it's own and keep the team above .500

Definitely agree about winning series now. Great hitting yesterday and defense was top notch. CoCo's running catch into the wall was awesome!

Good win yesterday. Definitely a bit lucky with the calls by the blues, but we need it once in awhile! I'll take an extra inning win any day! Good fight by the boys, Now we need to start winning series and follow up our amazing starting pitching!

Stellar pitching doesn't do much when you consistently strand runners in scoring position

The offense is just aggravating to watch so far. Please give Baily something to pitch for when he gets back.

Solid win yesterday! Got lucky with the errors by the rangers, but i'll take it! Got some runs, Gio pitched well and the A's got another victory! On a side note, Coco's hair is just wild when he let's it out!!!

Also got a Rickey Henderson bobble head, looked on ebay and it's selling for like 50 bucks haha crazy!

Matsui signing finally paid off! Walk off home run in the 10th against the Rangers today! It's time for him to start producing! A's win the series taking 3 outta 4. Tough road trip ahead with the next series against the red hot Indians. Go A's!
