M's 4, A's 0

It’s kind of hard to be mad at your team’s lack of offense when they’re up against a pitcher as dominant as King Felix was tonight.

But Dan Haren was just as dominant, until Bobby Crosby dropped what should have been an easy double play ball. Two batters later, it was 4-0. In a pitchers’ duel though, someone has to lose. And this time, it was the A’s.

The lone bright spot for the offense came when rookie Travis Buck drilled a ball over Ichiro’s head for a double, his first big league hit. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more of that kind of hitting from him in the years to come.

Blanton versus Washburn tomorrow – the A’s should be able to score a few runs. As long as they score more than they give up, I’ll be happy.
