Wonderful things just keep happening!
Had a awesome day yesterday, Flora brought me lunch today and now this. It’s too much! (But keep them coming, baby~)
I was gonna watch a little bit of the game at Club Sport, but the LCD TV at lady’s locker room was broken, so I headed to Border’s trying not to watch another game. Nowadays, it’s like who the pitcher is doesn’t matter anymore, the A’s are not hitting and the A’s are not hitting. I wanted to make the better use of my time. However, on my way from Club Sport to Borders, hearing the unusual lineup (Stew, Swish, Cust, Piazza, DJ, Ellie, Scoot, Crosby, Suzuki) and then a walk and a hit, I really, really wanted to go home and watch. I mean, players on base and with a hit in the 1st inning? That’s something fresh!
Reluctantly I parked the car, went in to Borders with mp3 players on FM106.9, decided that I could not find Hit List and I might as well go home, I went home. Straight home, ignoring the shining low gas light.
In the 1st inning, Stew walk, Swish single, Cust strike out, Piazza ply-out, DJ RBI single, Ellie RBI double, Scoot 2 RBI single. Tears were actually circling in my eyes. How excited it is! We’re already 4-0 and I missed it. I was afraid that it would be the only action for today, and thankfully, it wasn’t.
It’s such a fun night! And Gaudin kept it interesting. People are saying that Gaudin’s having control problem lately. It may be so. (Bear in mind that I’m new to baseball.) But it sometimes seemed to me like that the opposite players are being more disciplined at bats against him and hence the BBs. Thanks a lot to the early runs, we remained safe while Gaudin outbursted. Everyone except Cust and Crosby had at least a hit and it was even a bigger night for Ellis, he had his first multiple homers! By the end of the game, I could heard the crowd chanting “Let’s Go Oakland” clearly at Anaheim stadium. What a great feeling.
