It’s the opportunity Kevin Smith has been patiently waiting for, and I expect KJ to take full advantage of his trade to the Oakland Athletics.

Joba Chamberlain's 2012 trampoline injury was pretty wild. Over the weekend, a story broke about an Oakland A's player that may just top the list of weirdest sports injuries.

The New York Yankees found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory last night when the Oakland A's won 5 - 4 after the Yanks had a 3 - 0 lead in the 5th. Tonight they face Sonny Gray, who is NASTY. Yankees pitcher Chris Capuano is also nasty but in a more traditional sense of the word...

Just a day ago Alex Rodriguez moved into third on the All Time RBI list and first in American League history with a three run home run to pass Lou Gehrig (1.993).

Murphy Smith worked 3.1 more scoreless innings on Sunday for the Midland Rockhounds. The Rockhounds are the AA affiliate for the Oakland Athletics. Smith, a Shenendehowa graduate (2006), is just two steps away from the major leagues. In 13 innings this year, Smith has allowed just one run...
