Cespedes moving down to the 6th spot in the order, maybe a little wake up call for the slumping slugger.

A's get the lead on a Sogard single, Davis and Milone both look to have good stuff early 1 - 0 after three innings.

A's get two more, up 3 - 0 after the top of the fifth.

A's take game one of the series 6 - 3, K.C. showed heart getting their three runs in the bottom of the ninth and chasing out Milone bringing the tying run to the plate.

A's played a pretty clean game got runners over and in, Reddick, Coco and Cespedes all had good at bats during the game we get those guys going with Jed and Donaldson and it's going to be a big lift to the club.

Jarrod Parker vrs Ervin Santana tomorrow should be a good match up, Parker's first start since pulling his hamstring on the mound last week.

Very cool story about Ryan Cook making good on his promise to meet up with 14 year old fan Nick LeGrande.

" Before Nick LeGrande could win Cook's heart, he had to break it first. In January, here's a 14-year-old kid who'd been diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia, an extremely rare blood disorder that occurs in roughly four or five cases per million people per year.

In layman's terms, Nick's bone marrow had stopped making the things vital to everyday life: White blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. As a result, the teen's immune system has been severely weakened — a simple cold might escalate to something worse — and his blood won't clot properly, turning a paper-cut into a potential gusher. "

A's Cook finally gets to meet his 'No. 1 fan' - in Kansas City

I'm glad to see Cook followed though, Jerry Blevins and Sean Doolittle also went to visit the young man.

2b or short will work as Jed would be better off at second base, I am hoping for Alexi Ramirez he plays great defense, has some power and can steal a base.

I'll take anybody not named Rosales. The guy was one of the main reasons we lost the game today; defense and inability to get a runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

A's get two out of three in K.C. and Grant Green will be joining the club tomorrow, smart money is on Rosey getting DFAed.
