The Kind Of Game I Love To Watch
2006-05-20 10:38
by Ken Arneson

And I missed most of it. I had a soccer game at 8:30pm last night, so I only saw innings 1, 2 and 9 of last night's ballgame. Dan Haren again outdueled his BFF, Noah Lowry, 1-0. The A's won their fifth straight game while Texas lost, so the A's moved into first place all by their lonesomes.

I love well-pitched ball games, so I'm a little bummed I missed most of this one. My wife and kids went to the game and sat in the left-center bleachers. The game was so good that everyone came home raving about it, even though they didn't win the $1,000,000 prize.

I'll be missing most of today's game as well, as my daughter has another softball game up in the Oakland Hills. This time, I'll bring a charged battery for my camera.

i only got to see the last at-bat of the game, but even that was pretty satisfying :)

MLB Heavyweight Champion

If MLB champs were decided like boxing: beat the champ, and you're the champ.

The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.

The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

Current Champion (as of 5/17):
Cincinnati Reds
