<p>So the A's have stormed the castle and slayed the dragon, but they haven't quite rescued the princess. They did--believe it or not--knock Felix out of the game and scored 4 runs in the eighth inning to bring the score to 6-4. Jim Johnson has pitched in both a garbage game and a close game; in two different innings of the same game! We head to the ninth inning; the A's need 2 to tie. LET'S GO OAK-LAND!</p>

<p>The A's are playing the sloppiest baseball I've ever seen from them, and possibly any other team; think 2013 Astros. I think they have 2 official errors, but they should have 5, and I'm not kidding. Tommy Milone has pitched much, MUCH better than the game score would suggest; he's struck out <b><i>SEVEN</i></b>, even as the A's batters are striking out left and right against Felix Hernandez. Reddick should be glad he's sitting this one out; Barton and Fuld are currently in a contest to see who can impress the team the least in today's game. The A's should probably figure out a way to get to Felix to score multiple runs, or it's going to be a very quick finish. We go to the 6th inning, 3-0 Mariners.</p>

<p>Well, thanks to some interesting defensive choices in the first inning, Tommy Milone is down 1-0 to Felix Hernandez (I <i>swear</i> it wasn't his fault), but he has come up with some nice pitching to effectively minimize the damage. The A's bats need to get rolling STAT.</p>
