The Athletics defeated the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night to end a nine-game losing run to Houston. Finally, Oakland A's overcame their lousy luck and defeated the Astros. The Oakland A's fans were jubilant after the win. The same cannot be said, though, for Astros supporters. They were furious with Dusky Baker and the entire Astros' management.

After the Astros lose to the Oakland A's, the fans criticized manager Baker. Baker oversees Astros in MLB and has spent 19 seasons in the league, mostly with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
