It's Got to Be the Morning After

In a weird sort of way, both the A's and the Giants are the same. Both teams feature great starting pitching, shaky bullpens, and anemic offenses. As a result, both teams always seem to be involved in one run games, leaving the pitchers absolutely no margin of error and the fate of the games usually in the hands of the relief pitchers.

Case in point, last night's games:

Royals 4 A's 3- The A's are so destined to play one run games that they can't even get past the lower than lowly Royals without it being white knuckle time. This time, the A's were up by a run and lost the game as the Royals scored two runs in the top of the ninth to win. Jack Cust, however, continues to be hotter than the Snorg Girl as he hit another home run in the eighth to give the A's a short lived lead.

Astros 2 Giants 1- Blah blah blah...great starting pitching...blah blah blah...no offense...blah blah blah...Giants lose... blah blah blah...great pitching wasted.
