At least his current team isn't on the verge of losing three in a row to the Kansas City Royals.

what the fuck.

The Athletics just won their 4th game in a row.

What the fuck.

Eric Chavez hit a grand slam.

What the fuck, infinity.

Octavio Dotel has elected to undergo Tommy John surgery, meaning he is done for a very long time.

Huston Street is the closer for the Athletics. 21 years old. He's the guy.

He got his first career save tonight.

Salut, kid.

What a bad team you play for.

Dan Haren/Mark Mulder ERA Watch:

Haren: 4.17

Mulder: 4.17

Right at this moment, they are the same!

So beautiful!

Dan Haren/Mark Mulder ERA Watch:

Haren: 4.28
Mulder: 4.30

Taking into account the ERA adjustment between the two leagues, one could make the argument that Barry Zito (4.47) is outpitching Mulder this year as well.

I would just like to mention that Mulder had no defense to help him in Saturday's game. It was ugly. And that in all reality, it was my fault. I discovered over the weekend that my beloved Cardinals jersey is jinxed. It will be burned ceremoniously over the weekend. Hopefully my new hat will bring better luck when I see them play the Dodgers in July.

Mulder should consider striking batters out every once in a while.

Details, details. Mr. Picky. It would also be nice if a third baseman would field a grounder.

And again, my jersey is jinxed.

Mulder is getting crushed into a very fine powder today by the Cincinnati Reds.

Reds starting pitcher Ramon Ortiz just scorched a double to left field.

Ramon Ortiz, I tell you.

Mark Mulder is getting absolutely torched by the Cincinnati Reds as I type.

In one of the least surprising developments of the 2005 season, Tim Hudson was put on the DL last week with the exact same oblique strain that he's had for the past million years.

Barry Zito has by far the best strikeout rate of the former "Big 3" this season. Before his last start, he was in the top 5 among all AL pitchers in Batting Average Against. Walks and home runs, walks and home runs. Barry Zito gets killed by these things.

Dan Haren is 4-0 in his last 5 starts and has pulled his ERA below 4.

And the A's have won four in a row.

Will there be a return of the dexterous elephant avatar, Angus?

Anybody see the Yanks game? I think I got my weekly allowance of stupid after watching that fiasco.
