LATE NIGHT MIGGY STOVE
Aug. 1, 2003
A's 3, Yankees 2
Miguel Tejada walk-off home run off of Antonio Osuna. (Click on 8/01, "Play of the Game", 56K or 300K, depending on your computer)
This was the same night the Mariners got their asses kicked by the White Sox at Safeco Field, 12-1. One day after the trading deadline, it was on August 1 that the momentum went Oakland's way. Why?
Because of one swing.
The A's were 34-20 in the final two months of 2003, compared to the M's 26-27 record. You know, you follow a team all season long, and you think things aren't as good as they should be. And after digging up this stat tonight, well, my stomach turned.
Let's face it. The Mariners need Miguel Tejada. I'm not asking for the M's brass to sign Tejada, I'm demanding it.
Get it done.
And keep that Miggy Hot Stove burning...
