A's 3, White Sox 2

I had a dream last night that the A's lost a game 71-56. Maybe it's because I went to bed before last night's game started, and I knew Joe Blanton was on the hill.

But luckily the good version of Joe showed up, and another rookie drove the final nail in the coffin as Kurt Suzuki gave the A's a permanent lead with a two-run homer in the seventh inning.

Also of note was the fact that Huston Street worked the ninth in a one-run game. That's a save opportunity, folks, and save the game he did. It's nice to have our real closer back.

Today Dan Haren goes for the sweep in an afternoon game. I know it's just the White Sox, but a sweep would be definitely be nice.
