Crosby got his 1st hit...1 guy at a time

I heard the announcers talking about Johnson last night and they said he always starts out slow; real slow. I didn't know that and I just automatically expected him to pick up where he left off last year.

BTW, Zito, is that you?

[DirtyKash]

What happened to the real Zito?

[Providence A's]

the rumors of Zito's demise have been greatly exaggerated

He's probably done at 110 pitches there...6 shutout innings with 6 k's. No walks, but 2 HBPs.

[Kingdom]

What happened to the real Zito?

He realized he had to pick up the slack with Loaiza being in the rotation.

[Providence A's]

Kendall's steal goes for naught...bottom of the 7th coming up with the A's leading 3 - 0.

[Providence A's]

Calero gets 'em 1-2-3 in the 7th.
