Go A's! Gio threw a one-hitter and struck out 13 in AAA last night. That's much better. Keep it up, G-man. Two down, two go go! Go A’s!

Maybe I did after the Koch/Foulke deal but certainly not after '05. If DLS comes back OK and Gio gets back on track then... maybe. (I kid, I kid) I’m not calling Kenny an imbecile – far from it.

Sweeney is pretty much the only thing to go right from the A's perspective -- so far at least. Swisher has been heating up lately and I have no doubt he'll finish with his typical 260/370/475 line and give the Sox the versatility of a being able to play an average CF and a good 1B and corner outfield. KW has more resources at his disposal then Beane, and that is what makes Beane probably the best GM in the game and KW just one of the better ones (I'm thinking somewhere in the top 10), but there is a reason these guys both keep trading together: both feel like they are getting good deals. KW is by nature a gunslinger, a risk taker. With a 100 million to play around with he can afford to take some risks (See, Dye, Jermaine and Thome, Jim) that Beane can't. I give Beane all the credit in the world for running a consitantly good team out there on a paltry payroll -- but to paint KW as some imbecile next to Beane is silly.
