I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already. I missed both Chicago games, as MLB.tv was on the fritz Monday night, and yesterday was a day game. I was hoping for a little WGN magic but no such luck.

So the White Sox series has come and gone and the A’s scored only three runs over two games but still came out with a series split, thanks to another great outing by rookie Greg Smith. Dana Eveland didn’t fare as well in yesterday’s game, but that’s going to come after these guys pitch a few games and teams get a look at them. I’m still very pleased with the fact that not one, but two of the guys from the Haren trade have already made a positive impact on the team.

(For the record, Haren has done better his most recent two starts than in his first one, as he now has an ERA of 2.50 and a tidy WHIP of 1.00 with 16 strikeouts.)

Tonight the A’s get their first look at an AL West opponent as we get Joe Blanton vs. Felix Hernandez in the first of two with the Mariners. King Felix has been his usual self (1-0, 1.66 ERA with 16 K’s) so Joe will need to be on his game.

Go A’s!!
