Oakland woes continue

The M's batters had the bases loaded, no one out in the first inning, then... aw who cares, they seem to find a way to lose in the bay area. Whether it's untimely fielding errors (Beltre) or bad routes to the ball (Reed) or being unable to throw strikes to #9 hitters (Pineiro) the team just finds a way to stink.

The A's are looking like the team most likely to put together a 15 game winning streak and really taking hold of the division.

But they also have Loaiza, who was scheduled to pitch today and was out driving his Ferrari at 3:30am!! Talk about not taking your job seriously. How many of us went to bed last night at a reasonable hour so we could drag ourselves to work? Well Loaiza feels he can still perform in front of tens of thousands of people while getting paid millions of dollars on little sleep and hungover.

The M's still would have found a way to lose, but at least Loaiza was taking the M's seriously...
