Oakland A-Holes!

Oh. My. God.

We managed to get a 10-0 lead against the A's, until someone decided it was a good idea to let Baker try to close the game as well as open it.

What happened?

Two runs, bases loaded, three walks that were TOTALLY unnecessary thanks to Mijares THAT BIG JERK, aaaaand then Joe Nathan swoops in with a basket of awesome.

Game ends, 10-5. BUT:

• Despite my bitching about Young, guy managed three RBI's tonight to help us with our 10 runs. Uh, sorry Delmon. I'll buy you a Dome Dog the next time I'm in town.
• Morneau hit a beautiful homer!
• I fell asleep as we scored like 4 runs. BOO!
• I think it was Kubel or uh someone that hit in three runs one time during my aforementioned nap.
• Casilla dropped two balls hit to him that could've saved us a few runs in that nasty 9th inning.
• Span was out way at the beginning thanks to wooziness/dizziness/equilibrium troubles. He was replaced by Gomez.
• Crede got beaned in the left forearm, and is now day-to-day, but it didn't hit bone. Just PILES OF MUSCLE. AND IRON. (he's bionic??)
• Apparently today, draft day, we picked up like 4 pitchers. I AM OKAY WITH THAT. EVIDENCE: TONIGHT.
• Tolbert took the #2 spot on the batting order.
• RBIs: Morneau (2), Gomez (2), and Kubel (3 - thanks to that choice hit).
• RUNS: Tolbert (1), Mauer (1), Morneau (2), Kubel (1), Crede (1), Cuddyer (2!), Harris (1), and Young (1).
• Cust, player for the A's, was at bat with the bases loaded in the 9th. He hits it just foul, a ball's width right of the right foul line, and Dicks laughs to Bert, "Cust? That's what you might've done if that had made it in!" Bert is all like AW HELL NAW! And Dick's like, "How does that work out for you?" and Bert is like, "Not very well. I don't want any time off right now," as Dick laughs his ass off. Oh man.
• I also just noticed I've been spelling "Bert" like "Burt" this whole time. Even the tag is wrong. I'm a moron.

So there's that. That game took waaaaay too long considering we had it in the bag until like two batters into the 9th. Oh well - a win is a win, especially on the road!
