From manager Mike Redmond after the game:
"To lose a ballgame tonight on that play is a joke. It's an absolute joke. I don't think anybody who plays this game should feel good about winning that game. And I would say that if had been reversed. That guy was out by 15 feet. It was a great baseball play. G threw a strike to Matty. He was out by 15 feet. He didn't slide because he couldn't slide because he was out by so far. And yet those guys in New York decided the outcome of that game ...
"No doubt we have some grinders out there in this clubhouse. To look at them in the face and say we lost the game on a technicality is [B.S.]. Absolutely [B.S.]. I'm so [upset]. Like I said I played this game for so long. I've given this game everything I've had as a player and a manager. What a joke. What a [freaking] joke. That's ridiculous."

Big deal. The Yankees often have had 3 CY Young Award winners on the DL. ;-)
Here’s my question.
Now that the A’s are a lock to win the World Series, will anybody actually now go to see them play?
And standin’ there an’ takin’ it in the groin...
As bad as anything in baseball.
