A's 2, Red Sox 0

Last night saw Lenny DiNardo's ERA shrink even more, now at 1.45. That's amazing considering he walked six batters, but he got help from the A's defense with four inning-ending double plays.

I view DiNardo similar to how I view Joe Kennedy. They win games, they prevent runs from scoring, but they don't look pretty doing it. Lady Luck is on their side, and it's only a matter of time before things even out. But we'll take the wins from them when we can get them.

So the guy who got waived beat his former team and their rookie sensation Daisuke Matsuzaka, but he insists he didn't have revenge in mind. Whatever. I know I did, and I was nowhere near that ballpark. This was a great win.

The other Bonus Boy, Kennedy, goes tonight against knuckleballer Tim Wakefield. We're one win away from taking a four-game series from the AL's top team! Go A's!!!
