Time for Santana to make a statement.



Bases loaded, 1 out, and team down by 5.

<t>Seeing how the game is going on GameDay instead of on TV. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> It appears that Ortiz has been in trouble the entire time he has been on the mound, but the A's have not scored since the first. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Bucs down 7-3 going into the bottom of the 6th. This game is s...

It looks like Castro ate his wheaties this morning, as he now hits a 2 run double.

Castro tries to wake everyone up by hitting a solo shot. Mathias, however, doesn't get the message.

If the bottom of the first is any indication; the bats are still asleep.



Guess there wasn't enough down time between last night's loss and today's game for them to wake up.

The Pirates doing their best to help the A's reduce their negative run differential on the season.



7-0 is a horrible start. Let's see if there is any life in the Pirate bats today against a pitcher with an ERA north of 6.00.

Contreras and Z doing their best to destroy the good vibes of a 6 game win streak and a very short stay in 1st place.

This isn't good. First 6 batters reach base and Bucs down 4-0.



Good thing Hedges isn't catching because they may need him to pitch.

<t>A couple of comments after watching last night's often cringe-worthy win.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> 1) Hedges now has 3 interference calls on the season. Milt May is the career leader with 15. While Hedges did make a critical throw in the 9th to help nail Ruiz, I believe his defense is overrated.<br...

<t>The offense needs to pick it up. No Bednar for a day or two and some of the other better relievers could use a bit of a break. DeJong, Perdomo, and the 'Z' guy, collectively, resembles the A's pitching staff.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The A's are not a good team, but they, like some of the lowly Pir...
