TweetBreaking News: Oakland Athletics Third Basemen Scott Sizemore Out For 2012 Season With Torn ACL
According to CSN Bay Area blogger Rael Enteen, Oakland Athletics third basemen Scott Sizemore on Saturday sustained a torn left anterior cruciate ligament during fielding drills.

Manny Ramirez today has his first official day of Spring Training with the Oakland Athletics and he’s already making headlines.

TweetMoneyball the Review
Just walked out of Moneyball a few minutes ago and couldn’t wait to give my review. I was pretty skeptical about seeing this at all and then I almost walked out during the opening credits. For those of you who have seen this movie you know why. I made myself sit there and take and [...]
TweetBob Melvin’s Three Year Deal
The decision was made and A’s manager Bob Melvin was given that extension we were all curious to see if he would get. My personal opinion is that the deal was a smart one. Melvin did a good job since the exit of Geren. The team played much better once Bob Melvin took over. It [...]
TweetMoneyball Might not be Money for A’s Fans
