| Player Notes |
| July 4, 2008 Jack Cust led the Athletics in Friday's 7-1 win over the White Sox, as he went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer. |
| June 25, 2008 Jack Cust hit his first home run since June 7 on Tuesday against the Phillies. It was also just his second extra base hit in that time. |
| June 12, 2008 The Athletics brought the wood to the Yankees in tonight's 8-4 win over New York, spreading 11 hits through the evening, led by outfielder Jack Cust . Cust went 2-for-2 with two walks to total three RBIs and one runs scored on the night. |
| June 1, 2008 Jack Cust finished May hot and began June with the same fire. The A's left-fielder hit a home run and drove in two runs as the Oakland Athletics rallied for a 13-8 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday to end their four-game losing streak. |
| May 21, 2008 Jack Cust continued his hot month of May Wednesday, belting a pair of two-run homers in the win over Tampa Wednesday. |
| May 17, 2008 Jack Cust hit a solo home run and the Oakland Athletics beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 on Saturday night to end a season-worst four-game losing streak. |
| May 5, 2008 Jack Cust has been named the AL Player of the Week, according to the AP. Cust hit .500 last week with three home runs, a double and four RBI. |
| May 4, 2008 Jack Cust is on a roll. The DH/outfielder went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Rangers. It was his third long ball over the last four games, and he is up to .244 after hitting .176 in April. |
| May 2, 2008 Jack Cust dropped a fly ball which led to five unearned runs, but he partially made up for that with a perfect night at the plate as he went 4-for-4 with two walks for the A's. |
| March 25, 2008 Jack Cust had a tough day at the plate in the season opener against Boston, as he went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts (while leaving four men on base). Cust notably had a problem with strikeouts through spring training and this was a disastrous start to the new season for him. |
| March 20, 2008 Jack Cust struck out twice and forced one walk against the Cubs on Wednesday. His spring average now sits at .278 and he is tied for second on the team with 12 strikeouts. |
| March 11, 2008 Jack Cust hit his third home run of spring training today as the Athletics silenced the Chicago Cubs 6-4 in Cactus League action. Cust was acquired from the Padres last season to help fill the void left at DH when Mike Piazza fell to injury, and during this short time in the league showed great promise, making several starts in left field and working towards a spot on the major league roster. He's a total gamble for fantasy owners now, but if he stays hot through spring training, anything is possible. The A's love to give youthful prospects a shot to shine and Cust could be their next subject for testing. |
| March 9, 2008 Jack Cust was beaned on his helmet by a pitch Saturday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm not as dizzy, but I still feel it," Cust said. "I was a little unstable. I wanted to stay in, but when I got on my feet, I felt a little woozy." He was sent for X-rays, though the results haven't been made available. It sounds like he'll be all right, but we'll have to wait for an update to be certain. |
| March 4, 2008 Jack Cust, who started in left field Monday, was forced to leave the game early after being hit by a pitch, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm fine," Cust said. "It'll be good. It's not the first time. This (removal) was precautionary because it was a little numb." He said he doesn't expect to miss any time. |
| January 27, 2008 Jack Cust, one of the many players named in the Mitchell Report, has denied using performance-enhancing substances. Former teammate Larry Bigbie dropped Cust's name to Mitchell. "I was surprised and upset the way it came up," Cust said in the San Francisco Chronicle. Asked if he had ever used steroids, Cust said: "No. No. Not even one game." |
