Monday 7/17 - Wednesday 7/19 A's @ O's

[Providence A's]

A's lose 5 - 3...so far the rest of the West has lost...hopefully, the Angels will...if not they'll be half a game back.

[A'sDiehard]

I'm still PO'd that we let the Angels back in it.

[Providence A's]

I don't know if you're going to be around or not, but if so you'll be alone because I'm going up to Allston (Boston area) to see a concert tonight.

[A'sDiehard]

I'm working late but I'll be here mid-game.

What concert?

[Providence A's]

this band I like called "mellowdrone" There are 3 other bands I've never heard of playing...the place only hold 240 people. I saw them once before 2 summers ago in Cambridge, MA...also near Boston. I actually haven't been to a show in almost 2 years...November 2004 was the last one. You may have heard one of their songs "oh my" in either a Nissan Maxima commercial or for that show on Bravo Project Runway...saying "oh my what a wonderful day..."

[A'sDiehard]

Yeah it's weird, I don't go to concerts anymore either. Have fun.

We had a rain delay and it's now 3-3 in the top of the fourth.

[A'sDiehard]

A's pick up a couple runs sparked by a throwing error by the O's pitcher.

5-3.

[A'sDiehard]

A's win 5-4 and it was a bit of a nail biter in the 9th.

[Providence A's]

woo hoo! a nice little surprise to come home to...

[Providence A's]

another nice little surprise...today's game is 12:35 here!

Kotsay is playing 1st today, Melhuse is catching, Payton in center, Kielty in left, Bradley in right. Everything else is the same. Swisher gets the day off. Let's go A's

[Providence A's]

2 - 0 A's after 2 innings. Thomas with a 2-run single.

[Providence A's]

3 - 0 now as Bradley just went deep.

[Providence A's]

OMFG...looks like we might have another injury...Bradley singled and when he rounded 1st base he twisted his ankle...couldn't get back and got tagged out. Had to be helped off the field...

Chavez followed that with his 15th homer...

[Providence A's]

Thomas followed that with a huge bomb!!! 5 - 0 A's...20th for the year and 468 for his career.

[Providence A's]

Bradley is still in the game so hopefully he's ok...he's hitting .500 since coming off the DL with an OPS of 1.272
