Good News/Bad News

OAK 1, WAS 2

Good News: Mark Kotsay's back spasms aren't that bad, he went with the team on the trip and no DL time for him.

Bad News: He should have taken tonight off. He was 0 for 5 and stranded runners in every key situation (he's killing my crappy fantasy team), including his last at bat: Bottom of the 9th, 2 on, 2 out, down by one. One clutch hit can change the momentum. What happens? Weak grounder to 2nd.

Quasi-Rhetorical Question: Why can't Zito get any run support?

Good News: Zito got his first career hit, a single to left. Very good hit.

Bad News: The A's lost and Zito got pegged for another loss.

OK, let's just blame this on the A's not being used to the Washington heat and humidity. Let win one tomorrow.
