Well tonight’s game was sure interesting. Actually, let’s go back to the beginning…before the game even started I saw an article that Duchscherer and Cust were back! That right there brought a smile to my face, Duke hasn’t played since the end of April when he hurt his hip, and boy do we need him back. So game time was about to get under way and all of a sudden I hear that Duchscherer is out, Tyson Ross (our reliever) is in! Wait, what?!?

So I’m guessing Duke’s hip must have started acting up right before the game was about to start…because this was literally a last minute change. I must say though, Ross did very well the first 3 innings, but then the 4th inning came, and it was downhill ever since (12-3)

And then to add to the sadness…Cust was about to get an easy out in the bottom of the 8th, when he took his eye off the ball and it fell out of his glove.

Ugh…I’m not sure what else I can say, but on a plus, Texas lost too! Let’s hope we can shake these past few games off and start back up & get some wins!

Go A’s!
