Blue Jays 11 A's 7- What up with the A's pitching staff? For months and months, the pitching was an impregnable fortress. Now, it's leaking all over the place. The pitcher who got tagged this time was Lenny DiNardo who was done in mainly by Vernon Wells. The good news, however, is that the A's offense is still scoring runs. The even better news is that one of their main competitors in the playoff chase, the Mariners, should be imploding any second know due to their manager stepping down in the midst of an eight game winning streak. Nobody is asking us, but our theory is that the manager, Mike Hargrove, pulled a Costanza and decided to go out on top. You know, always leave them wanting more.

The Giants didn't play last night as they're on their way to Cincinnati to play the Reds, the worst team in the NL. We watched both PTI and Around the Horn yesterday and people on both shows were throwing around crazy conspiracy theories that Barry L's sudden surge of votes at the last minute was cooked up by MLB as a way of having Bonds play the game without him having to be selected by Bud Selig. We called "Loose Change" to see what they think about all this and they said they'll get back to us.
