18 JULY 2006

Here's a run down on what some of the media outlets had on last night's game.



SYNOPSIS:
The A's benefit from weather; Loaiza wobbles out of the gate, A's fail to maximize their advantage over Russ Ortiz, Payton 'triples' on poor outfield play, Crosby homers, Ellis homers. Rain Delay. Loaiza pitches better, Eddy Rodriguez does not pitch well for Baltimore. A's bullpen trio of Calero-Duchscherer-Street pitch three scoreless innings allowing only one base runner and slam the door.


CRITICAL SEQUENCE:
Idiot-Boy Macha calls for a bunt that cripples a chance for insurance runs.
