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.
