The A's came back from a four-run first inning and played long ball en route to an 8-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies.The longest and largest of the four home runs the A's hit was by Brandon Moss, who hit a third-deck shot estimated at 461 feet in the third inning to give the A's the lead for good. Moss would hit two home runs, and both Brandon Inge and Cliff Pennington also went deep. Seth Smith hit a pair of doubles and drove in two RBI on the night, as well.While Bartolo Colon was not his best, he did settle down after the first inning to keep the Rockies off the board until Todd Helton's solo homer in the fifth inning. By that time, the A's were up 7-4. Colon's line on the night was five runs allowed on nine hits, three walks and four strikeouts in five innings ...

Fantasy baseball managers are all looking for that one missing piece to put their team over the edge and into the playoffs. However, it is much easier to try to find a diamond in the rough than it is to actually find that diamond.Nevertheless, here are 10 players (one from each fielding position, one starting pitcher, and one relief pitcher) who have the best chance of both being available in your league and helping you dominate the end of the season.Begin Slideshow

If you had told me at the beginning of the season that the Rockies were going to be in third place in the NL West with a record of 40-42, 6.5 games behind the first place Giants, I would have called you crazy.The Rockies have a lineup that can strike fear into any pitcher in the league, and they have a rotation that rivals any (save for the Phillies). But after watching the Rockies fail to score many runs and the starting rotation struggle to find continuity, much less wins, it is painfully clear that Rockies fans should count their blessings that winning the NL West is still within reach. The question, though, is what went wrong? Wasn't this team supposed to be the team Rockies fans were waiting for to follow up the 2007 World Series team? Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez both signed long-term, big-money contracts this offseason ...

There are going to be some surprised people who read the box score in the morning. With the Colorado Rockies down 9-3 against the St. Louis Cardinals heading into the ninth inning on Tuesday, the majority of the 32,922 fans found their way to the exits. There was no way the Rockies were coming back. There was no way the Rockies could possibly win the game—except they did. Colorado scored an amazing nine runs in the ninth inning. The rally included four straight hits and was capped off with a three-run walk off home run from none other than Seth Smith, known to Rockies fans as Mr. Late Night. The fans that did stay made their voices heard. Chants of "Let's Go Rockies" echoed throughout Coors Field, even with the club down by six runs. After Dexter Fowler hit a double off of the out-of-town scoreboard, suddenly it looked like anything could happen. After Brad ...

Last week I told you it was time to add Buster Posey and Stephen Strasburg to your roster. Less than a week later Posey collects three hits and three RBIs for the big league club in a 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks. If you listened to The Hot 8 last week you already had Posey on your roster causing the rest of your league to search for him and witness that you indeed already had the coveted backstop. That is what The Hot 8 is all about, being ahead of the curve and especially your league. This week’s list is no different as I’ve got a few more players that will soon be household names and leave your fellow owners cursing your name.   Long Term Investments Carlos Santana – Catcher – Indians  As good of a hitter as Buster Posey is, Carlos Santana is probably a bit better. His defense may not rival that of the Giants prospect ...
