Forgot KIKO CALERO,and Chavez(if the Halos had played the A's on Sunday,they would have only scored 3 runs tops,cuz Chavez would have stopped all 3 chances that EROD either blew or didn't get a glove on......)I wouldn't recommend watching the A's much(unless you are a fan)They are defensively as frustrating to teams as the Cincy Reds of the '70s.They may be the best defensive team I have ever seen.No,not maybe.They are the best defensive team I have ever seen play.They simply suck the heart out of a team's chest,and then have choreographed celebratory dance moves.All this while their fans wave huge green flags(back n' forth) over the outfield fence the whole time the game is on(haven't figured out what that is all about.)And of course, there are like 5 or 6 people pounding drums all game long.Every form of psychological terror that they can muster is used repeatedly.

All I can say is that it is going to be a great 7 weeks in the run to the playoffs! The Cards are folding like a cheap tent and the Mets pitching might not hold up during a short playoff series. or did they make everything 7 games?

As far as Russel Martin goes,they were worried about whether he was big enough to play in pro ball,and he said "What are you talkin' about? I can play." That's the confidence he has.This was his 1st big league walk off home run(and he does it on National T.V. breaking a scoreless tie,)but as he approached home plate he tossed that helmet off like he had done it 25 times before.Ethier doesn't take long to adapt.He may have been pressing some because it was a big Sunday Night game,but I think he will be more poised in the next hi-profile game.
