Game #151: A's 4, Indians 3
September 20, 2006 | A's vs. Cleveland
"MILTON BRADLEY'S GOT GAME!"As GeneralChiang would say. Milton Bradley's solo home run puts the A's on the board, then his single drives in the tying run with Cleveland. Team MVP Frank Thomas (as far as only the A's are concerned) gets a double that puts the A's in front. Naturally. And there they stay.
• Esteban Loaiza goes 7.2 innings. He could've pitched longer. Why'd Macha put Joe Kennedy in? Could Loaiza have done worse than Kennedy, i.e., let Grady Sizemore reach home and score the Indians' third run of the game?• I missed Frank Thomas's double when I stopped at an ATM. Can't wait to check out the highlights online tomorrow.
(Game experience: KYCY 1550 AM and FSN Bay Area)
A's record: 88-63 | streak: W-2 | magic number: 5 | well-A-meter: 5.00

Only 7th best? Even the Blue Jays are better than us? Hmph.
And by the way, my mother gloated at the news that neither New York team would take Zito. Would anyone in their right mind willingly leave the Oakland A's to join the San Diego Padres? Willingly, as in you go of your own free will and not because Billy Beane is trading you and a catcher for Mark Kotsay.
Our collective love-hate relationship with Zito continues.
