2008 Season Preview: Oakland A's
The ‘Moneyball’ era soberly and officially ended this winter and the elephantine (Connie Mack elephant pun intended) task of rebuilding one of sports recent success stories.
Christopher Reina. 19th Mar, 2008.

Moneyball Is Back
Due to Billy Beane’s ability to adapt, the A’s now enter the post-season with what is probably the most balanced and well-rounded team in Beane’s tenure. Oakland might have missed their first chance to build a dynasty, but their second opportunity has come knocking (much sooner than expected). Don’t be surprised if they are ready to answer this time.
Garrett Wilson. 3rd Oct, 2006.

It Hurts So Good
Let's face it A's fans, without the "Big Hurt" this season would have been a "Big Disappointment." Prior to the season's start, a handful of experts picked the A's to be the last team standing in October.
Daniel Chanin. 14th Sep, 2006.

Rebuilding In Oakland: Out With The Old, In With The New
The Oakland A’s are a game below .500 and trailing Minnesota by 5 ½ for the A.L. Wild Card, but after a June to remember, this roster of young talent and proven veterans could be dangerous in the second half. Contenders or not, the rebuilding process is well under way.
Matthew Loomis. 7th Jul, 2005.

Grim Season Continues For A’s
Things are going a little different for the Athletics this year. This is a team that is used to winning, having notched at least 91 in each of the last five seasons. At present, they are nine games under .500 and treading water at a furious pace. They’re not far from being totally stuck in the muck.
Bob Souza. 23rd May, 2005.
