Game #144: A's 5, Twins 7

September 12, 2006 | A's @ Minnesota

I only heard the beginning of the game... you know, when things were good. We scored two runs, we were taking advantage of the Twins (wild pitch), our hitters' balls were ripping past the outfielders.

And then I had a meeting to go to and by the time I came out, WE LOST!

I've got to post this right away so I'll be brief. Joe Kennedy was on a streak -- what was it 15-plus innings without giving up a run? The streak had to end sometime. That's baseball. The numbers catch up with you sooner or later.

DJ was 0-for-11 then he hits a bomb. Showing off for the home crowd? Maybe. The numbers catch up with you sooner or later.

The A's were hot for the month of August and then some. Perhaps it's time to cool off for a little. But -- please! -- only a little!
