I predicted DUKE to pitch a no-no this year, specifically here in June or July. He is so damn efficient. This is such a great outing for him against some quality bats of the D-Backs. I’ve been so impressed with his re-converstion to the SP ranks. Stamp his ticket to the AS game.

“I’d never sleep with a player hitting under .250 unless he had a lot of R.B.I.’s or was a great glove man up the middle.”
I suppose LS makes it (prior to this season) on the latter alone—which, I’m guessing, is also a metaphor.

Small Sample Size

One game is a REALLY small sample size, but boy, this team looked dominant tonight. Great hitting, great starting and relief pitching, great defense (not only the CarGo catch, but also that amazing bounce-out throw from Eric Chavez) against a good team and their ace in their own ballpark.

Right now the A’s have two .300 hitters in the line-up, plus Ellis and Barton are both hot right now, Cust is among the OBP league leaders, and Big Hurt is still out. The entire bullpen looks pretty invincible.

I don’t know about the rest of AN, but this really could be a playoff team. I’m starting to believe.
