A's lose. Hee hee. All the "we're geenyuses and Billy Beane is GAWD" and the taunting about the Mariners annual summer swoon... and they lose three straight. The home run that tied the game was by Jason Varitek, who was behind the plate to catch Derek Lowe's two decisive strikeouts. Why do I mention them? They were part of the Dumbest Mariner Trade Of All Time.
Since the last time the A's won a playoff series, the Mariners have appeared in seven, winning three. How ironic -- the A's are turning into the 21st century version of the Red Sox.
Wonder if George survived his night at the Coliseum. Oh wait, he did.
