You know, I was all set to delight in the A's 4-1 lead over the Mariners, topped off by a 3-run double from Donnie Murphy which saw Jack Hannahan just level Jeff Clement at the plate, but unfortunately for us, there was another inning, which saw Blanton implode, giving up five runs, which now has the A's trailing 6-4.
Whether it should be 6-4 or 5-4 is up for debate, thanks to Kurt Suzuki performing some odd calisthenics at the plate, and missing Ibañez (or so says the ump).
Cust's 2nd inning home run is but a distant memory as well. Onward and upward, A's!
