Woo go A's! Didn't look quite as strong as some of their previous outings, but they still pulled it off.

Managed to catch the last half of the Giants/Diamondbacks game also, that one was pretty good. Nen has a way of making the end of games very interesting, which isn't always a good thing. :eek:

Aww yeah go Tejada! Huge homer to bail them out in the bottom of the 9th. :D

I was getting a bit worried when Mulder/Koch gave up all those home runs in the 9th to the Twins. :eek:

AMAZING game!!! unfortunately i left after the top of the 8th when the score was still 4-2 A's since i wanted to beat BART traffic and i had to go home and help my parents move stuff. i check the score about 10 mins later on my cell phone and the twins are up 5-4. as i'm getting off the train, the guy in front of me gets a call and says the A's win off Tejada's walk off HR! i'm so pissed i missed it...haha. the jermaine dye bobblehead looks great!

i can't believe i just quoted myself. haha. hopefully Zito gets win #20 for himself tomorrow and 19 straight for the team. i might have to go wednesday, Dollar Wednesday!!!
