A's 16, Rangers 4

What was that I said the other day? About the A's ability to score runs and Rangers' pitching? Yeah, this is what I was talking about.

I didn't watch much of this game, and really, I didn't need to. I turned it on after dinner and it was already 8-0 in the second inning. I watched it off and on and got to see Travis Buck's first career home run. I got to see Ellis' bases loaded double that got the A's to a dozen. The only thing I missed that I would have liked to see was Adam Melhuse playing third base for an inning.

It's games like these where you can just sit back and relax and enjoy the video game-like lopsidedness. And with a score like this, you've got to think the A's offense will be just fine. I'm sure we'll get up to at least 7th worst in MLB in team batting average after tonight.

And also to help calm the fears about lack of clutchness and RISP-y suckiness, 11 of the 16 runs tonight were scored with two outs. I'll sleep on that and have nice dreams of green and gold bunnies and leprechauns.

Tomorrow night Joe Kennedy faces Kameron Loe as the A's try to keep the offense rolling.

GO A's!!!
