Morons like Howard Dean maintain that the New York terror alert is a big fake, but baseball fans can attest that it’s real after a band of armed terrorists descended on Yankee Stadium with a vengeance:
The A’s scored three runs on five hits in the fourth. They scored four runs on three hits, a walk and an error by Rodriguez while chasing Lieber in the fifth. Melhuse made it 11-4 with his homer, off Tanyon Sturtze in the seventh, and Hatteberg’s three-run shot off Felix Heredia in the eighth capped the scoring.
It seems to me that the post-season curse won’t be a factor this year.
