Game #11: A’s Fall to Astros 3-2 in Opener

It’s one of life’s ironies that the day you have all the time in the world to craft a recap worthy of the game you are watching, the game didn’t comply. And on the flip side, the day when the A’s won the series, took three of four from the Red Sox, recap time was limited.

Sigh.

At least I’ve gone 50/50 in recaps in the last two days.

And this game wasn’t winnable. I mean it was. The A’s were down 1-0, 2-1, 3-1, and 3-2. Technically this was one of those games that maybe allowed you a glimmer of excitement when the A’s tied it 1-1, and closed it to 3-2, but somehow it never felt like a winning game.
