It's Got to Be the Morning After

-In a GAME THAT MATTERED, the A's lost their opening game, 4-0 to the Mariners. It's too easy to make much out of the first game of the season, but it should be noted that the A's took 17 out of 19 games against the Mariners last season and the Mariners just halved that. What happened yesterday could basically be summed up by this: great pitching. Mariner’s wunderkind Felix Hernandez, all of 20 years old, gave up only three hits in eight innings and struck out twelve.
