The A’s won their final two games of the season, ending the regular season with a 4-9 record. Their record matches the number of wins collected in the 2005 season. The A’s third win came after the opposing team was disqualified for altering their batting order. The fourth win came after the game was called due to weather.

The A’s now turn their attention to the postseason, which is only a few days away.

A-WOL, the team’s photographer, would like to announce that a new camera has been purchased. The new camera is capable of 5.5X zoom and has a resolution of 2 Mega pixels. This camera was purchased after the team’s old camera, an old Intel webcam with 0.25 Mega pixels of resolution, malfunctioned. Expect to see better, crisper images on the team’s website as a result!

Test trials for the new camera will be done at Game 13.

At a press conference, Dean Harrison, AKA “The Dean”, has announced that he will be out for the remainder of the season. According to his latest medical examination, he has contracted the “vacation” bug and will need to take the remainder of the month of August off in sunny Florida to recover. We wish him a speedy recovery.

The first baseman / outfielder lead the team in slugging percentage in 2004.

Team skipper A-WOL has been place on the DL due to a right hand injury suffered in Game 13. In an attempt to field a ground ball at third, the ball deflected off of A-WOL’s glove and jammed the tips of the fingers on his right hand. A-WOL was taken out of defensive duty for the remainder of the game but managed to score a hit in the 7th.

While an MRI showed not damage to the bones on his hand, there was swelling in on of the stricken fingers. A-WOL was placed on the DL after noting continuing pain in on of the fingers. His return to normal fielding duty in time for the playoffs is questionable.

We asked for your comments and you responded. In a 5-3 vote, had the pitching duel been played, Rick Palma was voted as the one likely to have won the match. Congratulations to Rick!

At a press conference today, the A’s have announced that Scott Lord will be out for the remainder of the season. Scott has been diagnosed with stomach cancer and will be going for surgery on August 1st. As the A’s starting first baseman, Scott was 7 for 11 with 4 RBIs over 3 games.

A-WOL has been placed on the DL due to a shin injury. The injury occurred in Game 9 against The Depot as a wild throw to home plate went into the A’s dugout and hit A-WOL on the on-deck circle. He’s status is day to day.

When asked about the injury, Ron, the league’s chief umpire said “Do I have to hear about this [injury] for the rest of the season?”

With many A’s players chased away due to the weather, the team was able to round-up some unlikely last minute recruits to play the game. On the roster were archrivals Elena and her friends Rene and Jackie, who have batten around the A’s and given A’s pitching grief this season and last season at the Complex. Also in the line-up was veteran league player Walter who was passed-up earlier in the season, and Bud Hall, the same guy in which the league is named after.

The A’s offense was on fire, netting 33 runs off of 47 hits. The defense was just as powerful, yielding 4 shut-out innings. In the end, the Depot had little chance against such an all-star line-up as the A’s won their second game of the season, 33-7. Rick Palma gets his first win of the 2005 season while A-WOL gets his first career save.

The A's picked-up their first win at Game 8, defeating a team comprized partically of fellow team members. The A’s offense was on fire, scoring 25 runs off of 30 hits. The A’s batters and runners were able to maximize the number of extra bases gained and capitalized heavily on fielding mistakes made by GD-Crew.

The A’s defense looked sharp and limited GD-Crew to just 3 runs after 4 innings. However, the defensive unit eventually became fatigued and GD-Crew capitalized on it by scoring 11 runs in the 5th.

Regardless, it was not enough to overcome the A’s huge lead as the A’s picked-up their first regular season win since June 30, 2004 by a score of 25-14. Annie picks-up the win for her pitching performance.

We asked and you responded! The fans have voted "The Dean" and "Punisher" as their nicknames for an A's player. Congradulations to both Dean and Jason!

A’s pitchers A-WOL and Rick Palma have agreed to a pitching duel for July 7th’s “Mirror Match” between the A’s and GD Crew. Palma, a pitcher on both teams, made the challenge and A-WOL accepted. Neither pitcher has earned a win this season, so by going head to head, one of the combatants is assured a win.

The “Mirror Match” is available only on pay-per-view. See your local cable or satellite TV provider for ordering information.

At today’s press conference, the Avengers were proud to announce the acquisition of two new starting pitchers: Annie and Clara. According to team player and player scout, Jason, both players posses heavy pitching experience and should give the team a needed boast in both pitching and hitting.

Scott Lord, a first baseman for the A's, has been placed on the DL. Scott underwent stomach surgery and will be out of commission until mid July to allow his body to heal from the procedure. Scott is 5 for 7 in two games with the A's.
