Well, let’s see. I’m actually not sure where to start. Six amazing games in the last eight and both bad losses were mine. That’s not even exactly fair. This game had all the hallmark of a tight pitching duel, playoff-quality game, really until, after nearly squashing a Giants’ rally, Edwin Jackson fell off the mound and balked in a runner from third. I’d say it was all downhill from there, but really, the home run from Chad Pinder tied the game and restored the pitchers’ duel, Even down 2-1, the A’s staged a couple of incredible at-bats, both resulting in walks, eventually loading the bases with no one out, finally knocking Madison Bumgarner out of the game.
