OAKLAND – At what point exactly can a lead be considered safe for the A’s?

It’s a relevant and timely question in the wake of Oakland’s most recent late-inning fiasco. This one came in Friday’s 7-6 defeat to the Chicago White Sox, when the Sox used a five-run rally in the seventh to erase Oakland’s 6-2 lead, all the runs scoring with two outs.

It was yet another gut-wrencher for the A’s, who simply can’t do enough good things in a game to outweigh all the bad that eventually seems to snowball on them.
