any of you watch the A's games on mlb.tv?

I don't have cable and need some method of watching the games, but I am worried about black-outs

Looks like Oakland is starting to find their bats. Homeruns are starting to become a little more abundant lately.

Solid pitching and Kouzz actually making plays = another win for the A's!!! Let's take this series after a tough one against the tribe!

A's take the series against KC. Kouz and Zuki with home runs! Not sure what's going to happen. Connor Jackson is hitting the ball really well and not enough playing time to make everyone happy. I'll be interested in what will happen with trades this season...

Have you guys seen the CJ Wilson's post-game comments?

C.J. Wilson frustrated by A's patience

“It’s like obviously no one sets out there to go walk guys, and I haven’t been doing that lately,’’ Wilson said. “It’s just only against their team that I do that. They take everything close. If it’s not called a strike, then they walk. It’s lawyer ball. That’s how they roll.

“That’s how they’re going to beat me. That’s how they have to beat me. I have to make a bunch of mistakes and walk a bunch of guys because they’re not that good of a hitting team. The whole game was frustrating.’’
Walks are costly as Athletics beat Texas Rangers

"They scored five runs on five walks and one actual hit," Wilson said. "The other one was one little hook shot, flare thing. If that's how they have to beat me, whatever."

A's getting owned right now... Gio has his worst outing of his career. Now there's a rain delay... maybe the A's will be able to come back from this! Just the break we needed!

A's got lucky rain delay means the game didn't count. Sorry for Mitch Moreland who hit a grand slam and it doesn't count

Thank you rain. I had Gio going. Those walks and that 23 era wasn't going to help.

sucks for whoever had Mitch Moreland on their team... They lost out on 4 RBIs, a home run, and a run... LOL!
