PrintThe A's LEAD 3-1 in the bottom of the third, on the back of an Eric Chavez run-scoring double, a Jack Cust sac fly, and a Ryan Sweeney RBI single.
The Giants scored when Omar Vizquel stole home on Greg Smith. Be sure to catch Sportscenter tonight to see a replay. Grudgingly, even against my favoite team, I have to admit it was a very sweet looking play.
Barry Zito has been "too fine" and is probably "working on feeling confident" as we speak.

I was actuallly expecting GIDP
and by some fluke in the rule book, actually burning the first out of the 7th.
I always expected a GIDP out of Kendall
even with no one on and 2 outs.

Wow. Did Cust really just do that?
Check that ball for pinpricks, then his glove for thumbtacks.

Just in case there's anyone here
who knows how to post an image but doesn’t know how to set the size, here’s how it works:
After the URL but before the closing bracket, add “height=100”, with no quote marks. The 100 can be whatever number you like, but something around 150 or 200 usually works well. Use preview to test the size and make sure it’s not too big.
Some people here really dislike the big pictures, and you can make the point just as well with a reasonably sized image.

I just got home
Turned on channel 40, and thought “Oh, the A’s/Giants game must be on KICU tonight, because there’s some kind of beer league softball team on Comcast”.
Then I recognized Zito. Good Lord, were the Giants hoping to land Campbell’s Soup as a sponsor when they designed those uniforms?
Don't blame me, I voted for Ice Cream

is the whole bay area getting the A’s feed? Or is there a Giants feed outside of the East Bay?
it's fine, i have basic analog
but i’m pretty sure they’re discontinuing cable & internet services sometime soon. they’re hella in dept.
Better hurry

I went over to the Giants feed
to see if the announcers were circling random people picking their noses in the crowd, and instead they were talking about Tim Russert. I think Russert himself would be saying ENOUGH ALREADY to the NBC system by now.

Dunno, but I found this trivia
In 1973 Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds set a unique record of most at-bats (six-hundred eighty) without a single sacrifice fly. While that record has never been surpassed, odd enough it has been tied twice since then by Frank Taveras of the Pittsburgh Pirates / New York Mets in 1979 and Kirby Puckett of the Minnesota Twins in 1986.
