That sure feels good!

I couldn't watch the "real" game (it started at 4 a.m. for me), but if the condensed game on MLB.TV was any indication, that game was a thing of beauty. Despite striking out 13 times, the Angels were able to score 7 runs (6 earned) of Rich "Unhittable" Harden, highlighted by a grand slam from Vladdi. Lackey, meanwhile, struck out six himself, pitching 7 scoreless innings.
That was the beginning of a prolonged losing streak of the A's, whose spirits are totally crushed now, being in second place again. They'll managed to win the wild card one game ahead of the Yankees though, who started their own slide yesterday. Remember, you heard it here first. :)
