But then Jon Garland has been horrible so far. No wonder the White Sox traded him. I hope he figures his problems out. For a groundball pitcher he sure is giving up a lot of flyball hits.

Game two was a great classic Angels-A’s pitching duel. If there’s a silver lining to the Lackey and Escobar injuries it’s that Joe Saunders will finally prove he deserves to stay in our rotation. The last two years he’s come up and done what was asked of him. Poor guy must have been depressed when we traded for Garland. Now he’s proving to be the ace who gets the big win after Garland stinks it up.

The A’s are off to a great start. Hopefully they’ll stick around and the Mariners will falter. I don’t like the Mariners. I’m no A’s fan but I like the duels the Angels and A’s have. Most games are great close games.

Game three could be another great duel. The new Ervin Santana is pitching. Of course, the old Ervin Santana always did well against the A’s.

I’ve enjoyed watching this team over the past years teams when they had Tejada and Giambi. It’s nice to see them put a few hits together and run the bases. Pitching is always amazing. In Beane we trust.

This team has been very fun – much more than anticipated.
