Game #33: A's 6, Blue Jays 5

May 9, 2006 | A's @ Toronto

• My man Danny Haren gets a win. Hooray! Of course the rest of the A's made him -- and me! -- sweat bullets for it. Haren hasn't updated his blog in a week. They need to get some ghostwriters on the case.

• Kiko Calero is also a big hero. As for Huston Street, I worry. I have a worst-case scenario in my head that I'll keep to myself for now.

Movie Star Brad PittA's SS Bobby Crosby looks like Brad Pitt• My other man, Bobby Crosby, hits home run number five. I'm a little down on Crosby this year, compared to previous years. Looking like Brad Pitt does have a downside after all. I can't stand the whole Brad/Jen/Angelina story, anything that reminds me of it, and anyone who looks like any of them. And really, can anyone look like either of those women?

• Didn't I call Adam Melhuse our go-to guy back in Game 13? I sorta did. Wouldn't it be cool if he got more playing time? Let's see... Melhuse appeared in 10 games and has one home run. Kendall-- oops! I said I wouldn't rag on Kendall.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Kendall believes his suspension wouldn't be reduced after talking to different people, including Billy Beane. I can only imagine Beane saying something to the effect of, Suck it up, Jason. You don't go charging the mound during a game and expect there to be no consequences. And stop comparing your punishment with Lackey's. Someday, when everyone knows you're a genius, you can throw all the temper tantrums you want. Until then, let's have some decorum when you're out on the field.

• Off-tangent: Dr. Dan sent me the link to a Simpsons clip on You Tube featuring the 1974 Oakland A's. Click here to see it for yourself.

(Game experience: Intermittent MLB Gameday checks, KYCY 1550 AM for last couple of innings. I missed every inning where major scoring took place.)

A's record: 17-15 | streak: W-1 | well-A-meter: 3

Shouldn't the comments regarding Brad/Angelina/Jennifer have been in pink text? Also, you didn't include Vince Vaughn in the romantic web. I guess you don't have a problem with Vince. ;-P
