Monday 4/24 - Wednesday 4/26 A's @ Rangers

[A'sDiehard]

Mench just homered. Back to back. Nice.

*ugh* this chiat is painful.

[Providence A's]

and now Mench hit a homer...4 - 0...I say bean him next time...then there will be no doubt it was on purpose...dumbasses.

[A'sDiehard]

Honestly I'd rather have our pitchers bat then Kendall. *ugh*

[Providence A's]

4 - 0 after 4...

[Providence A's]

4 - 1...Payton doubled and Kotsay doubled him in...

Bradley left the game...it looked like he jammed his knee sliding back into 1st base, but he could have pulled his groin...I dunno...they haven't said why he left.

[Providence A's]

Chavvy grounds into his 2nd DP of the game

[A'sDiehard]

Story of the season my friend. The A's have been the kings of making a promising inning a disaster.

[Providence A's]

Nevin just homered to make it 5 - 1 and they said Bradley left with a sore knee.

[A'sDiehard]

Welp, the way we're hitting I hope Harden has his best stuff tomorrow; that and the loss of Bradley is magnified by our lack of hitting. This is going from bad to worse.

[Providence A's]

yep...and I think it was the knee he had surgery on, too...which was his left knee...I'm almost positive it was the left knee he jammed...

[Providence A's]

5 - 2...Kendall singled in Johnson. 1st and 2nd with 2 outs for Payton.

[Providence A's]

an error by Texas...5 - 3 now. 1st and 3rd w/ 2 outs for Kotsay who already has 2 hits and 1 RBI.

[A'sDiehard]

I thought I heard the announcers say it was not the knee he had surgery on but I'm not 100% sure. We'll know soon enough. Can we get a shutdown inning here? Please?

[A'sDiehard]

Welp, it's tied up 5-5 going into the bottom of the ninth.

[A'sDiehard]

Welp, the short bullpen hurt us. A's lose 6-5 after rallying in the ninth.
