Angels 6, A's 4

Had Vladimir Guerrero stayed mired in his homerless drought, the A's would have won this game. But, those two bombs he hit off Chad Gaudin were not just deep fly outs, and his 4 RBI propelled the Angels to victory last night.

Gaudin's ERA is up to 3.88 now as he's looking more and more ordinary. We might be back to the point where the only guy who isn't Bonus Boy is Dan Haren.

The middle infielders provided much of the positive for the A's, as Donnie Murphy put together a nice 2-for-4 game with a home run, and Mark Ellis clubbed his 14th home run, now his career high for a season.

Tonight, Lenny DiNardo goes in his 12th start of the year. Really?? Twelfth?? Way to go, waiver pickup guy with the deceiving 3.10 ERA.

Go A's!!
