Bring Your A’s Game Blog

Ver­sion 1.0 has launched! Thanks to my man Tim Quiri­no for help­ing get it off the ground. He’s going to be work­ing with me on it as we flesh it out into a Face­book-enabled beast of a blog.

The real ques­tion: What sort of stuff should I put on there? I post­ed about our first event, but I’m won­der­ing what sort of con­tent makes the most sense for it. I’m think­ing a mix of A’s his­to­ry, plus dis­cus­sion about why I want the A’s to move back to town would make sense. What do you think?

How About Them Phillies?

Remem­ber when I wrote this and won­dered whether or not the Phillies would make the post­sea­son? Yeah, seems pret­ty sil­ly now. I’m head­ed to see the Phillies again tonight as they attempt to sweep the Braves, who once led the divi­sion by a healthy sev­en games. The Phillies have gone on a 12 game swing since and now lead by a whop­ping five games. The mind bog­gles at the accomplishment.

Peo­ple are talk­ing about the Padres’ col­lapse? What hap­pened to Atlanta?

What the Phillies top three pitch­ers have accom­plished is noth­ing short of remark­able. Hal­la­day has won 20 games, Cole Hamels has bounced back after a sea­son that test­ed his met­tle and Roy Oswalt has been superb since join­ing at the dead­line. Can you believe Roy Oswalt is our num­ber three? Me neither!
