http://athleticsforlife.com Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:59:54 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, nor have I canceled my lifetime A's fan membership. I've just moved my blog to a new domain name - I'm now blogging at AthleticsForLife.net. Come check it out and change your bookmarks (or add bookmarks! :)) if you feel so ... http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/06/03/ive-moved/ I went to the Dodgers/Brewers game in Milwaukee last night. When we got there, I checked the out of town scoreboard and the A's were trailing the Indians 1-0 in the 2nd inning. I didn't expect that would be anything close to the final score, but as I saw by the ... http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/05/15/zeroed/ The A's are the #1 team in all of baseball - better than even the Arizona Diamondbacks - according to ESPN.com's Power Rankings. When was the last time that happened? http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/05/09/1/ What to do with the imminent return of Rich Harden to the rotation? Justin Duchscherer, Chad Gaudin, Dana Eveland, and Greg Smith have all been pitching excellently as part of the majors' best rotation. The A's are moving Gaudin to the 'pen, which I think is definitely the right move. We saw ... http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/05/07/the-right-move/ I love beating the Halos. I love beating them in close games, and I also love kicking their asses from Anaheim to Los Angeles. Guess who has the best record in the American League? http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/04/29/sweet-victory/ So much for my prediction. I thought the A's - and Frank himself - would pass on bringing the Big Hurt back to Oakland. But he is an Oakland A again, and he was in the lineup in today's trouncing of the Twins and went 0-for-3 with two walks and ... http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/04/24/big-hurt-is-back/ It was the logical thought process, once the Blue Jays cut Frank Thomas last week - "Bring him back to the A's! We loved him here!" Now, it sounds like there are rumblings of that actually happening. I wouldn't bet on it though, as who would be sacrificed to bring him back? ... http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/04/23/big-hurt-coming-back/ Funny how quickly things can change - the last time I posted here the A's were in the midst of losing four out of their last five games and they hadn't scored more than two runs in a game in that time. I was feeling like the bottom feeder A's ... http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/04/22/keep-it-going/ I had a dream last night that Justin Duchscherer was out for the season. I was relieved when I woke up, as I remembered that he threw from 140 feet on Wednesday and is on pace to return to the A's in about a week. That's good, because I really ... http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/04/18/tgif/ I can't believe it's Wednesday already. I missed both Chicago games, as MLB.tv was on the fritz Monday night, and yesterday was a day game. I was hoping for a little WGN magic but no such luck. So the White Sox series has come and gone and the A's scored only ... http://athleticsforlife.com/2008/04/16/happy-hump-day-2/
