It could be brutal tonight with us having to play extra innings against the Blue Jays last night.

A"s are up 6-1 in the 3rd. How is it going CC?

7-1 now for the A's. Great play by Grady Sizemore.

Indians did end up getting out of the inning. Joe Blanton I believe has pitched a solid game, but I was playing some COD4, and got to go to baseball in 20.

CC has to hate Oakland by now! Cough up another L.

Just so everyone knows, we are leading the division now

The team is fun to watch again, this reminds me of the late 90s/early 2000 A's, with guys like Izzy, Giambi, and semi-unknowns stepping in and helping us win when necessary.

Then I see teams like Florida who consistently do it there... there's nothing wrong with playing young players without egos. Working out great for FLA/OAK so far.

Another solid performance!

DiNardo was solid, 5 innings, no walks.

I'm thinking sweep! Gaudin will hopefully come through, Crosby keeps hittin, and our bullpen is more rested than theirs.

Can't win them all.

Now, it's time to focus on the WhiteSox.

Missed the game. Basketball.

I was going to watch it but Rainout then had B-Ball.

Blanton has been rather unlucky record wise. He'll probably be the innings horse all season, unless he gets traded before the deadline.

Greg Smith has been awesome.
It was nice to see Big Hurt in the lineup even if he went 0 for 3. We need some power in the lineup, can't count on people like Donnie Murphy to hit homeruns every day. I wonder if this means the end for Cust.

Another won series. On to the Mariners.
