The Oakland A’s High-Fiving a Comeback

“The guys are feeling a little more confident about themselves. I like what I’m seeing.” – A’s manager, Bob Geren

            It was a perfect warm and sunny day on Sunday, May 29th, 2011 for the Oakland A’s to defeat the Baltimore Orioles 6-4 at the Oakland Coliseum ballpark this Memorial Day weekend. The A’s had lost seven of eleven games since they tied for first place in the American League West on May 17, 2011 and are now remaining in fourth place with a 3.46 ERA overall. Today’s win marks their first three-game series sweep of the season before taking on the New York Yankees.
   The Orioles may have taken the lead in the first half of the game, but the A’s wiped them out in the bottom half. A’s pitcher, Josh Willingham scored a three-run home-run in the 5th inning setting the tone to win it. “Seriously, we feel like we’re playing good baseball right now, and whoever we play, they’re going to have to come in here and beat us,” he said. 
   “When he hits them, you don’t even have to look,” said A’s manager Bob Geren Geren about Willingham. “The sound of the ball off the bat, you just turn around and start high fiving everybody.”    
   Good times are rolling along well for the A’s who also celebrated the return of All-Star closer Andrew Bailey, his first appearance since September 2010. “I felt really good out there,” said Bailey. “It was nice to get back and help the team win a ballgame today.”
   “The guys are feeling a little more confident about themselves. I like what I’m seeing,” Geren said letting the bullpen loose with Bailey, Grant Balfour and Brian Fuentes taking over to close the game.   
   Geren watched as his team went for a fourth straight game. “We obviously enjoy this win for an hour or two, but then we go home and prepare for New York,” he said. Despite their loss against the Yankees yesterday they surely frustrated the Orioles over the weekend and are fiercely moving forward.
