Really not much to say about this one. The Large Father continued his Say Amen Somebody Revival Tour by belting his three-hundredth home run, but then Manny Delcarmen and Justin Masterson made like Moe and Larry and coughed up the lead, knocking us out of sole possession of first place.So we're currently at 3-4 on this homestand, having lost a series to the lowly Mariners, taking just two of three from the AL West cellar-dwelling A's, and now dropping the series opener to the 11-games-below-.500 Royals. Time for a drink? I think it's time for a drink.
