“Not counting canines, the game drew 23,382,” is the final line of Yahoo Sports’ recap of Oakland’s 4-3 home victory over the Yankees last night. With the Bombers’ slipping to a mere 22 games over .500, there’s clearly a more important storyline than the A’s stellar play of late, or the abundance of dogs in attendance.

“I’ve never been booed this much in my life,” Swisher said, visibly bothered. “That’s all I really got to say about that.”

“No,” Swisher said. “I just don’t care,” his tone and demeanor belying the words coming out of his mouth.
