The bats went on a holiday In their last game in "L.A."

Catfish Stew — ... , but it paid off handsomely on Sunday. But I could well be wrong about Sunday's turning point. Over at 6-4-2 , Rob seems to suggest that the game hinged on the Angels' magnanimous decision to swing and miss early often, and I'm not in a position to dispute that. Phil's Not-So-Phun Phacts : By my count, the A's grounded into seven double plays in four games against the Angels. This how teams with less-than-robust offenses... stay less than robust. Up until Ken Korach mentioned it on the pregame show, I had no idea Joe Blanton had never recorded a win against the Angels in his 10 previous appearances against our hated SoCal rivals. And it's not like Blanton has been slapped around by the Halos -- his ERA against L.A. Jr. was 3.something or other headed into this game. All in All : The A's got a split against the Angels, which is never anything to sneeze at, even as my seasonal allergies kick in.
