Jack Cust, Where Have You Been All My Life?
Thank goodness for Jack Cust and Dan Johnson. The pair have accumulated 15 home runs and 21 RBI over the past week… just think […]

The Week That Was
It really could not have been more of a roller coaster for the A’s this week: loss, win, loss, win, loss, win. At least we can say they are […]

What a week… what a week. Not the greatest ending, dropping one to Kameron Loe and the Texas Rangers 0-7, but a good week indeed. And I don’t know if you […]
