I went to the Dodgers/Brewers game in Milwaukee last night. When we got there, I checked the out of town scoreboard and the A’s were trailing the Indians 1-0 in the 2nd inning.

I didn’t expect that would be anything close to the final score, but as I saw by the 6th inning of the game I was attending, it pretty much was.

Kurt Suzuki is hitting .167 in may. So maybe as Kurt goes, so the A’s go (lost four of their last five and shut out three times)?

The A’s are the #1 team in all of baseball - better than even the Arizona Diamondbacks - according to ESPN.com’s Power Rankings.

When was the last time that happened?

What to do with the imminent return of Rich Harden to the rotation? Justin Duchscherer, Chad Gaudin, Dana Eveland, and Greg Smith have all been pitching excellently as part of the majors’ best rotation.

The A’s are moving Gaudin to the ‘pen, which I think is definitely the right move.

We saw how this guy broke down last year after seeing his innings pile up. We also saw how good of a reliever he could be in 2006. They’re putting him back in a role in which he’s excelled, and this only makes one of the league’s best pitching staff that much better.

Nice to get the sweep today. I was lucky to catch Mark Ellis’ walkoff as he hit it about 10 minutes after I got home from work. Go A’s!!
