dead men tell no tales...

was in before 8:10 this morning. I was in before four people who are usually here before me. I guess that means the nanosecond any of them leaves, I can ditch out, and technically, i can leave before they do. I think that's what that means. The A's lost their Spring Training opener yesterday, 2-1 to the Cubs. Joe Blanton got the loss, but A's starter Dan Haren pitched two scoreless innings, giving up just two hits and no walks, and striking out one. Not a bad start. Blanton actually didn't do too bad, despite getting the loss. If you don't count the 2-run HR he gave up to Aramis Ramirez, he gave up no hits, 1 walk and 1 hit batsmen, while striking out one, in two innings pitched. The A's offense could only muster 4 hits, including an RBI double by Jason "Your New Favorite Athletic" Kendall. They play today against Milwaukee. If I remember correctly, Harden will get the start, and we should see Dan Meyer and Keiichi Yabu pitch as well. YABUUUUUUUUU!!
