A game that fits into a nice template: one of those West-Coast, late-night, extra-inning road affairs you keep following (me: internet) even though you're pretty sure how it will end.
In extra-innings, when you're the visiting team, it's awful, because if the other guys score first, the game is over. If yours is the home team, it's awful, because you're pretty sure the other guys will score first, then bring out their closer.
And the win either happens 1) with a home run to the upper-deck, or 2) some bloopy little thing. So rarely in between.
Sure enough: 11th inning, bases loaded, one out, grounder to Menk. Ball game.

Consider yourself lucky that you didn't have to see it on TV. Some observations
- Kyle Farnsworth bungled another outing. Can he be trade bait for someone?
-Doug Mientkiewicz is a great fielder but he must start hitting his weight. He is hurting us at the plate.
- Vizcaino and Bruney are going to be real contributors this year.
Yes, I had the same feeling about scoring first. If we did, then it would have been Mo....then lights out!
That triple by the former Sun Devil was sweet!
Why do you stretch a double into a triple on girly-armed Damon? So a weak grounder will get you home to score the winning run.
Gotta love those free-wheeling, mop-haired A's.
