It Ain't Over Til It's Over

What a comeback.
Three hours, 32 minutes, 39 hits and 27 runs. Yikes.

Justin Morneau crushed a carer-high seven RBIs, but it wasn't enough to stifle Matt Holiday's bat and some horrible Minnesota Twins pitching Monday night. A combined eight longballs, including two grand slams, made up the Oakland Athletics' 14-13 dramatic rally.

Combined with the Cleveland Indians' 11-10 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays back in May, this crazy game marked the first time two teams overcame 10-run deficits in the same season since 1989.

Busy, busy day today... see ya tomorrow! I know, I'll miss you too.

At least the Twins won tonight. I hate being an A's fan.

I went to sleep when it was 12-5. I thought it was safe.
Got a text from my dad at 1 am saying "f-ing umpire"... Although.. it's not the ump's fault they blew that lead.
But he should have been punched in the face.
