ARLINGTON, Texas - What’s that definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
That’s sort of how things are for the A’s at Texas, where each game, Oakland seems to make a key mistake or two, fails to score enough to get a nice cushion and then sees the bullpen hand over the lead again.
The script played out again Sunday, with Ryan Madson the latest A’s reliever to stumble against the Rangers, who scored three times in the seventh en route to a 6-4 victory, the sixth win in a row for Texas.
