Giants 9 Astros 1- On KNBR last night they had a long discussion about whether it was lame that Giants’ fans didn't bring a broom to last night’s game. Us? We think bringing a broom is one step below face painting. But it might have been nice to have brought one because the Giants did sweep the series with the Astros. It's up to you to decide which was the most improbable thing that happened during the game-- a Bonds-less offense scoring nine runs, Barry Zito pitching a good game, Bengie Molina hitting a triple, or Condeleeza Rice actually showing her face in San Francisco. We'll go with Condi showing up. The Giants, by the way, now have a nice little four game winning streak going.

A's 4 White Sox 0- The A's had gotten clobbered the past two games by the White Sox but this time their pitching came through as Chad Gaudin shut out the Pale Hose. The A's injury of the day was to Travis Buck who sat out with a bad elbow but it was his replacement, Hiram Bocachica, who got the big hit of the game with a two-run homerun.
