A’s continue to dig their own grave

Chalk up another loss for the A’s. I really think they are trying to re-create the magic they once achieved in the 2002 season when they won 20 straight. However, now they are going to try and do it in reverse… by losing that many in a row. I gotta tell you, I think its brilliant!

Huston Street is done in my book as well as everyone else’s. He throws an ‘A’ pitch and a ‘B’ pitch. Like the good old Nintendo days, however, he doesn’t move the ball to either side of the plate, he just fires them right down the middle to get smoked. Street who is 1-4 with a 6.00 ERA and four blown saves in his past 16 games, should dig his own grave. In fact, he should also dig a spot for Barry Zito next to him as well.

On the bright side of things, Carlos Gonzales had his first career 4 hit game. Carlos is a gamer and is going to be exciting to watch in the future. Also, there was a superzieglerman sighting. A’s Brad Ziegler added 2 more scoreless innings to up his scoreless streak to 34 innings! Even when the A’s suck, the continue to at least do something entertaining.
