Open Thread: Game 29 - A's at Angels (cont)

We head to the seventh inning, all Angels so far. They lead our A's 6-1. With the Angels' pen looming, the A's offense needs to get off the deck in a big way in this inning to have a chance at getting back in this game.

I guess it's a function of being (almost) 27.

I don’t usually indulge this much during the week, and I sure can’t handle drinking like I used to.

and that he has given up 3 long balls and walked 8, we will probably be no hit
