Open Game Thread: Game 105 - A's at Seattle (cont.)
So, it turns out those first twenty runs in the game don't count for all that much. After seven full innings, we're in a 10-10 tie ballgame between the A's and Mariners, after Casilla left a few pitches too high in the zone, erasing the A's lead.
We're off to the eighth to see if the A's have some more power left in their bats. Go A's!

We haven't used a lot of power yet
so we are still due for a second homer. These are an unlikely 10 runs when you look at our usual hitting performances. Thank God they have a JoKe too.

Is Swish getting a beer gut?
