So it appears that Houston isn’t the rally killer. The Giants aren’t the rally killer. The Texas Rangers, deep in the heart of the land of sweltering summer nights, only helped the A’s. But it’s Friday night, and nothing has brought the A’s ineffable weekday rallies to a screeching halt quite like a baseballgirl game thread to open the weekend. Four Friday night games in the month of July, four losses. To add insult to injury, in the last three losses, the A’s have only mustered one run. Tonight, this held true even in Coors Field.
If it’s any consolation, the A’s have quite the tradition to lose on Friday nights, yet win both Saturday’s and Sunday’s games.
