The last time the Oakland A's blew a 7 run lead was in September 1978. I saw it and I still don't believe it! Ian Kinsler returns from a wrist injury and homers TWICE, Tex finally went yard.
The big blast came from Rod Barajas with the bags loaded to make for a 7-all tie until the 9th. Phil Nevin has been struggling this month. Huston Street hung a 95 MPH fastball up and BANG! off to Green's Hill went the ball for a dramatic walk-off 8-7 come-from behind win.
Texas now 6-10 in 1 run games and have now created 10 come from behind victories. 2 game cushion in the West with a chance to increase. Mark Kotsay and Eric Chavez went deep for Oakland...What is it with relief and blown saves this year? Billy Graham must be shaking his head...
Do not be worried if you log on later today and you see a blank screen. Tonight the new look takes effect with some nice surpises and animation. This has been a two month process with Lydell Vik. Tonight you will see what talents lie in the youngster...All tweaks shall be handled in the days ahead. May everyone have a safe and sane Memorial Day Weekend.
Over and out in Big D
