M's 7 | Padres 9Well, the arms were bound to come down to earth eventually (and doesn't if figure it would happen against another struggling offense). Garrett was good for a few innings and had the bats come through for more than a run with the bases loaded in the second inning, it could have been a whole different game. But they didn't and Roy totally blew up in the sixth (though some thought he was getting squeezed and showing his emotions with this particular umpire didn't help his cause)
As anemic as this offense has been, it was nice to see that they didn't lay down upon an 8 run deficit and battled back to make it close and had a darn good shot to at least tie it in the 9th.
But, 't was not to be.
Milestone Mariner Moment...
Junior's home run was the 5000th in the M's history!
not laying down and at least trying, a lot of people just shrug it off say 'they lost'.
ReplyDeleteBut, I think it's one of those thing that has the potential to carry over.
Making Bell work (whose having a stellar season) should be uplifting as well.

ReplyDeleteYep - but I'm not "a lot of people"...
that's why they call me ROSY :-)
Tough shakes tonight for the A's vs. Timmy...
And dang Rockies! They couldn't have eeked out 2 more runs???
a's had the bases loaded with 1 out 3 times and hit into 2 dps and screwed up the other one. lol
