Wow. What an incredible game tonight at McAfee Coliseum. The Oakland Athletics' Dan Haren started against MLB's winningest team, the Boston Red Sox. *(Haren's ERA: 1.70 *at gametime tonight, he was touted as the MLB Pitching ERA leader, but it looks like San Diego's Peavy has the actual title at 1.68). Haren was absolutely solid tonight, having retired 14 consecutive hitters at one point.
And, not only does Mark Ellis hit for the cycle tonight for the first time in his career (only made possible in extra innings! whew...), but Eric Chavez' bat lit up in the bottom of the 11th with his walk-off homer.
In Giants news, what about Klesko's homerun reaction today in Philadelphia - classic!
