8-4. 1st place in AL West. AL leading +19 run differential.

2.36 ERA MLB leaders.

It is early, but this team is looking pretty gosh darned good so far.

Let's Go Oakland!

Why was Kazmir taken out after throwing only 82 pitches? Is he hurt?

head scratcher I guess. He is fine. Conservation I guess. Appears he is the A's ace early on. Bullpen minus dunce Johnson has been very solid so there is that also.

I would have liked to see one more inning out of him.

Post game noted he was rubbing his throwing elbow & trying to shake out what may have been some stiffness. Hopefully, just a minor ding.

Would not have expected the pitching to carry us this well missing Parker and Griffin at the start of the season. Kazmir and Chavez have been way better than I anticipated and even Gray has been exceeding expectations. Extremely impressed so far. If Norris can keep straightening out Johnson then our pitching staff will be nearly unstoppable.

No doubt. I really hope Chavez gets in the W column tonight. He needs a decision... a (W)

Kazmir looked filthy yesterday. What great surprises.

well, I guess if we get swept by Texas we had better go 3-1 vs Houston this weekend.

Haha, wouldn't that be the dream.

Alternately we have Lindblom and Leon in AAA as options if Milone implodes. We also have Pomeranz as an option having success in the majors who could be stretched out if needed as a starter.
