CHICKEN LITTLE
Is this how A's fans felt last week? After being manhandled, embarrassed, and run amuck, we face the prospect of a sweep at NetAss and -- presuming the Mariners continue their roll-over-and-play-dead routine -- could be one two three four five games out of first place, and only four above .500.
June saw the Angels go 11-16! The Lads were outscored 130-115 in June, a Pythagorean record of 12-15, so it's not like that doesn't represent how they really played. This is after a 17-10 May and a 13-10 April. One bad month is not the end of the world, of course, but it's not pretty, especially considering this is the month that saw the return of injured starters.
But the club should be able to take out their frustrations (Mike Scioscia yelled at them yesterday after they played like Little Leaguers) on Kirk Sarloos today, and Ace Washburn is tailor-made to pitch in Oakland's vast arena.
At least we get the Dodgers for three games after ...
