A's trail 1-0 going to the 5th on Swisher's solo HR. Smith and Floyd have both struggled with their control, driving their pitch counts up. Expect to see the bullpens in play sooner rather than later.

It is early but Halladay has his shit working
No Hit those bastards.
Not just beat them but no hit them. No need for a perfect game because you can drill a few of their hitters to make their offense a little worse

Does anyone really doubt that the Angels will win 1-0?
Unless Lackey pitches a no-hitter, in which case they might lose 1-0.

His fastball tops out at 91 so far tonight.

I think Hannahan should swing at the first pitch
It’s the only way he has a chance of hitting the second one.

Our offense hasn't been cutting it for years. I just get tired
of bitching about it. The bigger question is “should Larry Davis still be fired?’ because things aren’t getting better on the injury front.

Since it seems the A's aren't going to hit tonight,
I’m just going to cheer for Thome and Swisher to swing away; score my fantasy team some points and make it a pretty good night.

Fair enough but
the A’s only started stealing bases this year.

Because the opposing weak catchers
have matched up their weak abilities with pitchers who give runners huge jumps.
And, the A’s have people who can steal for a change.
