Oaktown and Disneyland (3-3)
They came OH SO close to 4-2
Two total heart-breakers...
The second game in Oakland that would have sealed the SERIES win...
Jarrod FINALLY get a tad bit of run support (3-0) and Miggy and Mark blow it in the 7th giving up four runs and that's all they would need.
The third game in Anaheim that would have meant SWEEP...
The offense FINALLY scores early and often and adds on (8-1 after top 6th) with enough to overcome the struggles that would eventually find Garrett. But, the D.A. (who has been awesome since assuming the closer's role) blows it in epic fashion in the ninth, yielding two hits, four walks and three runs (M's lose 8-9)
Here's hoping it is true what they say ...
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."
Bright Sights...
- Averaged 5.75 runs per game through the last four
- Adrian starting to come 'round ~ 4-multi-hit games
- Ichiro not only extended his hitting streak to 24 games - he collected 15 hits on the trip (including a homer and 3 doubles)
- Felix and Jason and Erik - oh Yeah!
- Jose late inning magic!
Bleak peeks...
- Jaku just never seems to have it vs. the A's ... go figure - he beats the Halos and the BoSox
- Same old, same old for Jarrod the past few years ... nearly non existent run support
- The bullpen has been the strength ... it was just a matter of time and over-use that weakened it
