Ups and downs

Funny how I tune into the game just when something big happens. The A's were behind the Orioles 3-2 at the top of the 6th, then the "double steal" by Jay Payton and Milton Bradley. Payton steals home, ha ha!

What's funnier is that Miguel Tejada and Ramon Hernandez were both involved in that play. Well, it's funny to me. Unlike many A's fans, I didn't mourn Miggy or Ramon when they were no longer with the A's. I just moved on.

(And to make a further contrast, John Halama barely registered with me.)

The A's are kinda back to winning a game, losing a game. GeneralChiang noticed that I haven't gotten to a 4 in the well-A-meter this week. Yeah... it's a lingering malaise from before the All-Star Break.

I didn't get to listen to the rest of the game, and when Baltimore moved ahead in the score, I could only shake my head.


(Game experience: Some radio)

A's record: 48-45 | streak: L-1 | well-A-meter: 2
