Oracle- Mets

[Gander]

I'm beginning to wonder if the Tigers will ever lose again! Talk about the best time to reel off 5 straight wins. Tonight they have Kenny Rogers and while he may come down to earth a bit after his last performance, the A's dont have the hitters the Yankees had so another great performance could be coming again. What the A's need is Haren to come out and completely shut Detroit down. The A's cant win games when they allow their opponents more than 4 runs. They are not like the Yankees, Red Sox and Mets. Their strength lies in starting pitching and so far its not delivering. A's have certainly had their chances but are leaving tons of guys on base. It can be habit forming. I once saw the Red Sox strand 17 guys in one game, not kidding.
