A'S COAST TO 7TH STRAIGHT WIN

BALTIMORE -- A visibily intoxicated Maty McNeil watched his Oakland A's squad coast to their 7th straight win in Baltimore, narrowing their deficit to 5 games in the AL West.  Maty McNeil was seen pumping his chest like a maniacal ape, throwing beer cans in joy, and repeatedly calling Jermaine Dye "my nigga" in the 6-1 win.  McNeil stacked his lineup with righty heavy hitters against Baltimore's Chris Maduro.  Righties finished a combined 5-for-23, 1 HR vs. Maduro.

It was clear the Oakland A's dugout was having fun.  Even when they struckout, there were no worries.  Dancing and high spirits were seen in the dugout.

The A's will finish the short, 2-game series in Baltimore tomorrow.  Big Barry Zito will be on the mound.  Rumor is, he wants to bang Hilary Duff from Disney's Lizzie McGuire.  Pound it out, Big Z. #underagepussy

Around the League: • The Anaheim Angels lost again, their 3rd loss in their past 4 games.  Maty McNeil chuckled heartily at the news. • Ichiro Suzuki has overtaken Adam Kennedy for the batting title in the American League.  Ichiro is 12-for-his-last-20, with a homer and two ribs.  We expect the Japanese queer to take the batting title. • Pittsburgh's Brian Giles, aside from having a dope Cali pad, is raking of late.  The white boy has hit 3 home runs in his past 5 games, pushing his season total to 20 (second only to Barry Bonds). • Alex Rodriguez clubbed his 19th home run of the season last night.  He celebrated with some imported pussy. • Andruw Jones and Barry Bonds are tied for the NL-lead in RBI's with 52 ribs.  Both of these niggers live fly, get at me I'll show you their cribs.
