Game #133: A's 7, Red Sox 2
August 30, 2006 | A's vs. Boston
SWEEP THE RED SOX!Yeah, I know it's not quite the same because the Red Sox are freefalling and their big hitters are hurt or hospitalized and whatnot.
But let me just savor the moment, okay?
Curt Schilling in all his faded glory gives up six runs and 11 hits over 5.1 innings.
On our end, Barry Zito picks up his 15th win by striking out eight in 6.1 innings. Brad Halsey shows up for the 8th and gives up two hits and a run. Tsk, tsk. Otherwise, Calero and Gaudin were solid.
(Game experience: None)
A's record: 77-56 | streak: W-3 | well-A-meter: 5

It would be cool if Toronto passed up the Red Sox for second place in the AL East. That would give them something to build on for next year.
During yesterday's game, it was announced that Roy Oswalt of Houston just received a five year contract extension worth $73 million. Ray Fosse commented "You know who's the second happiest person in the world to hear this news? Barry Zito!"
Hmm... a little misleading when you isolate the numbers for one month. I think it's great Loaiza was great in the month of August, but he sucked for the previous four months.
