A's stun Seattle with dramatic late rally


A's stun Seattle with dramatic late rally
After A's Manager Ken Macha informed right fielder Nick Swisher that he would be receiving a ``mental day off,'' Swisher took a seat in the dugout to ``relax.''

Killion: Important lessons from the A's
Ann Killion knows some grand conclusions you can draw from Friday's As'- Yankees game. And one grandSeptemberconclusion.

Yankees hammer A's, who need another revival
Now what? The A's have reached another crisis point in their highly unpredictable season. The landscape may change dramatically in a few days, but at this juncture, they have the look of a team on the brink of slipping out of contention. And quickly.

Mariners rookie leaves A's in awe
It's hard to imagine a 6-foot-3, 170-pound, 19-year-old, fireballing, right-handed pitcher rocking anybody to sleep. But with his hypnotic blend of high-90 mph fastballs, tantalizingly slow change-ups and drop-off-the-table breaking balls, that's exactly what Venezuelan phenom Felix Hernandez did to the A's as the Seattle Mariners won 2-0 Monday in front of 22,262 at McAfee Coliseum.

Minor leaguers waiting for the call
Newly minted major leaguers arrive every September in a parade of small type at the back of the sports section. You can find them listed under ``Transactions,'' where over a two-day span last week, 58 players either were recalled or had their contracts purchased. That is the clinical way of saying their dreams came true.
