We couldn't be happier about the sweep of the Giants. Here are a few random thoughts from the weekend:
We had been feeling genuinely happy about Barry Zito's success so far this season. We still have love for the guy. But honestly, what A's fan is surprised that he had a hard time again in Oakland? Regardless of his "stuff" he is and always will be a headcase.
Giants fans are lame. L.A.M.E.
The Giants scored 1 run all weekend. As terrible as the Giants' offense is, can the A's pitchers get some credit? Please! Gio was nothing short of amazing on Saturday (20 in a row, hello) and it is beyond awesome that Ben Sheets seems to be coming around.
It was amazing to see large crowds at the Coliseum. All the energy of back-to-back sellouts reminds us how great baseball in Oakland can feel.
We feel happy for Ray that he got to work with Jon Miller on Friday. He deserves a professional partner like that. Krukow, on the other hand, is a homer hack.
Oh heck, Coco Crisp! We were sooo excited to have you around for a couple games. And you played darn well. Pleasepleaseplease don't be hurt again. Please.

We have officially decided that we love Chris Townsend. At first, as much as we were relieved to be Buan-free, we were afriad that he might be too fratty and KNBR-ish. We weren't sold on his A'sey-ness. But the way he treats all A's fans with respect and enthusiasm is awesome. And we loved how much he was loving the sweep. Count us officially on his bandwagon.
Go Oakland!
Townsend's postgame show after the sweep at the Oakland Airport Holiday Inn was great! Daric Barton was his guest, and the place was packed.
I highly recommend that A's fans go to these postgame shows to keep them happening. The next one will be after the day game against the Angels on 6/10. Adam Rosales will be the special guest.
