A's Win! A's Win!

For those of you too sleepy to stay up for the end of the five-hour A's game: Good news! The A's got themselves out of some sticky situations in extra innings and finally beat L.A. 5–4 in the 17th on a bases-loaded walk to Bobby Crosby scoring Marco Scutaro from 3rd. Good eye, Bobby!

What I liked most about this game was the dugout. Those guys were into the game. The starter, Kirk Saarloos, was out there supporting the team in his post-game sweatshirt. The A's closer, Huston Street—who had given up the Dodgers' tying fourth run in the 9th inning—was still there cheering and rolling a rally ball in his hand. They didn't seem to care we were only one inning short of a doubleheader. They were just having fun.

Of course, it helps that tonight's game became the A's ninth win in a row. And their June record is now 13-2. Can you say "hot"? (and I'm not talking about Ellis either) Go, A's!!
