So the team drops in for two games against the Oakland A's before heading out on the road again in what has got to be the strangest homestand. We had a good week on the road going 4-3 against the Cardinals and division rival Marlins. I almost had to bring out the save some runs for tomorrow chant on Sunday, when the team had a 7-0 lead, and then when it got to 11-3, but an 11 run output is hardly excessive when you give up 5.
Here's where we stand. It is late June, and we are 6 games under .500, 5 1/2 games out of first. These numbers are not insurmountable. This could be one of those "Does anybody want to win" type seasons. Bill Maher was on The Daily Show last night, and Jon Stewart, a fan, asked Maher, a minority owner, if he would bring a "jar of tears" to an owners meeting- good stuff!
Tonight's mathup pits Bartolo Colon, late of the A's against Scott Kazmir, who apparently holds a grudge against us for shipping him to Tampa Bay. We also get the return of catcher Travis d'Arnaud who found his swing in Las Vegas. Let us hope that that is not one of the things that stays in Vegas.
