One does not simply ask the Baseball Muses for momentum to swing their way, or ask for luck really nice. It’s a grueling season of grit and sweat, believing in yourself even when outside forces laugh you off. It’s creating a masterpiece out of nothing, a portrait of success that will hang in the halls of baseball history. This year, the A’s are doing exactly that.

Since the All Star Break, the A’s have gone 7-2, outscoring their opponents 59-29. Not even a stinky end to their winning streak on Thursday could burst the A’s bubble as they bore down and bounced back the next day.
