Deja Vu all over again

Yesterday Rich Harden is perfect though 8.1 innings until he gives up his first hit. Today Zito has a no hitter through 8.1 innings until he gives up his first hit. These two games have probably been the closest I will ever see to a perfect game, or even a no-hitter, and I am proud to be an A's fan. As for Payton, making his Oakland debut, he took his first pitch as a strike. The second pitch Payton sent deep into the stands for a 2-Run shot. Welcome to Oakland. Payton was robbed of a walk thanks to the home plate umpire who called the 3-2 pitch the wrong way, and was robbed of extra bases by a fantastic catch at the wall in the 8th. Jay Witasick was brought in for the 9th inning for his first game in green and gold since 1998, and it wasnt hard to see why he has the nickname "Jay Witasuck". He gave up a walk, a single, a double and a run without getting an out before being boo'ed off to be replaced by Rincon, who got a force out before Calero got the two final outs to wrap up a 7-2 win. Kendall was 2-for-4 with no Homer and closing in on 1 entire year without one. To finish I would would just like to say how good the Rangers TV coverage was, very friendly, un-biased and informative, however they must have shown the advert for "The Sports List" about 50 f*cking times!! I now officially hate Summer Sanders!!
