No one ever said Beane's streak of winning seasons would Live-4-Ever.
Now, the A's have to go 12-8 to avoid slipping below .500.
And they've got to start by going through ... MENDOZAAAAAAA!!!
Gaudin pitches for the A's.
Swisher keeps giving Geren a reason to bat him lower, and Geren keeps accommodating him. C'mon, Bob, give the poor lad a day off in the Texas heat. (If Swisher starts tomorrow, I expect he'll just die.)
Ellis, at least, has earned a night off.
And DaVanon, apparently, has done something to anger the baseball gods.
