Yeah, yeah, Verlander Shmerlader. We get it. He’s lights out, but tonight’s Oakland lineup made themselves ripe for the picking. In tonight’s 3-1 win against the A’s, Justin Verlander struck out 11 over seven innings, allowing only one run on a Coco Crisp solo shot in the first inning. It should be noted the A’s

In the first two weeks of the month, they managed to teeter-totter near the lead, but again found themselves three games down with only a couple of weeks to play. They started September with a record of

I’m going to leave the stats out of this one, for the time being. Who is the American League’s most valuable player? Personally, I don’t care, but that’s because I’m a baseball fan. I love Miguel Cabrera & Mike Trout, what they bring to their teams, and to their fan bases. I’m not going to
