Are you serious? LOL, wow... Athletics down 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th, runner on first base and 1 out.

Eric Sogard hits a deep fly to right field that is caught by Hoes at the wall. Nearly a walk-off, two-run homer.

And now Chris Young blasts a two-out, deep fly to left field that should have won the game 6-5 for Oakland, but it went foul by half an inch. So close to hitting the foul pole. Umpires are reviewing it but on the CSN Houston replay (I've seen it closely about 5 times), it's definitely foul but barely. It came close to hitting the left field foul pole.

Just an intense game for an otherwise shitty Astros team. I'm impressed. LOL

Umpires rightfully rule it a foul ball after seeing the replay. The Oakland fans are booing but it was the right call.

And Chris Young strikes out. He's pissed and almost broke his bat off his leg. Good game. I'm shocked we won 5-4.

yea me too it better not happen again tonight lol. people are really starting to doubt the A's playoff hopes recently..especially on the radio here in th*** area..people are starting to panic!! eeeekkk

Agreed. As an A's fan, you have to tip your hat to the Astros last night. It was heartbreaking to watch that hit though.

The baseball Gods are not on Chris Young's side. Two nights in a row he's denied of the walk-off homer.

Rpbbie Grossman just robbed him. At least this time somebody caught it over the wall and it wasn't half an inch away hitting the foul pole

17 games left.

Up 5.5 in the West. 87-61

Rangers swept. A's win season series 10-9. A's improve to 88-61 and are now up 6.5 games in the AL West.

Donaldson walk off. 2-1 over Angels. A's are now 89-62.

Magic number is 6.

They were only 10-9 vs Texas?
Feels like we got raped more than that rolf. Maybe it's just the sweep making it so painful.
