Friday Recap
What a great night of baseball! The Davids in Boston and Oakland defeated their goliaths with great pitching. Roy Oswalt struck out 10 and walked none in a complete game shutout. Matt Riley spun a gem vs. Toronto. Jody Gerut was five for five with 11 total bases, and just missed the cycle by a triple. The DRays shut down the White Sox, and the Rangers shut down the Mariners. (Isn't being shut out by Chan Ho Park and the Texas Rangers the ultimate indignity? :-) ) Bonds got to Gagne, but Gagne still got the save. Randy Johnson was back in form striking out 8 for a complete game shutout. I'm sure there will be more fun today.

David and Goliath -- fooey! The A's have a fantastic rotation, possibly the best in baseball right now. Only hacks like Gammons who judge teams by the number of dollars they spend were liking the Angels for a division win. The statheads (Baseball Prospecus, Diamond Mind, among others) have been projecting the Angels to finish second or third in the division for some time now. Angels fans are hoping for Eric Chavez to take a nice long trip on the DL, because that's about what it's gonna take to get past the A's.
