Hot in Oakland

Well, about the only thing fun about the game last night was Tito getting ejected in the 8th. It was the end of a long frustrating night - well, really, three frustrating nights. Our offense is MIA; I'm beginning to think we should just make "Double Play Again" our motto. Way too many GIDPs. This must stop, boys!

Wake pitched okay - a little better outing than his previous ones. But with no offense to offset the knuckleball, it added up to another loss, 3-2 - our fourth loss in a row.

We always fall victim to some kind of slump - it's the nature of baseball. You can't win all the time - as much as we fans wish it. It seems to me the best time for the "June Swoon" is now, when we have a big leading in the AL East and have piled up a bunch of wins. We've got a little cushion to work with. But that cushion is getting smaller. So we need to pick it up tonight - er, rather, this afternoon, as the game starts at 3:35 Eastern. I can actually watch the game and stay awake for it. I hope!

Schilling will rescue us, I hope
