Open thread: Game 44 (Minnesota Twins at Oakland Athletics) (cont)

PrintRoss is still hurt; we don't yet know the severity. The A's patchwork bullpen has allowed 4 runs, having replaced Ross after the first batter. The A's crappy offense has scored no runs. It's 4-0, going to the bottom of the seventh. Nick Blackburn looks like Cy Young, as so every single pitcher the A's have faced, minus Tuesday night.

Tyson Ross is the 11th #Athletics starting pitcher not to record an out. The 3rd to face only 1 batter: O.Olivares in 00 and M.Norris in 75
And
David Feldman
Since 1970, only 3 starting pitchers faced only 1 batter and got the loss. Tyson Ross could be the 4th and first since 1995. #Athletics

I think we play no doubles all the time.
Span has caught about 4 or 5 line drives that I’m positive would have dropped in against the A’s in the past two days.

Watch us score 10 runs while they're gone.
Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.
That would amuse me.

Me too. Easily amused today.

Damn. Game is back.
So much for the 10-run comeback.

Maybe we can match it.

I bid you adieu
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn’t mean to make you cry,
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time
Goodbye, ev’rybody, I’ve got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don’t want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all
I got nothin'
