Slap Hitter: A’s Streak too Good to be True

Much as I want to jump on the bandwagon, I think the vehicle needs to be built on a stronger foundation than five pitchers, all minor leaguers this time last year. The past week showed the A’s at their best, starting pitching, timely hitting and stellar relief. I think the wheels start coming off tonight. The six game streak runs into the Minnesota Twins tonight at the Coliseum, and if it doesn’t have the odor of a 2-1 loss, a 4-0 shutout and maybe a pity win on Wednesday, then I’ll eat a Coliseum dog.
