Not quite.

Bases clearing double from Swisher. 9-0.

[Providence A's]

damn, I missed it...and wtf, Wilson came in and hit Chavez right away? Whatever, bye-bye Rangers Your season is over pretenders...time to go get some more hitting

[Providence A's]

Macha never should have sent Zito out there with the score being 9 - 0...he was at 95 and would have had to go 1-2-3 to make it through without being well over 100 pitches, which he is...Gaudin in 9 - 2...I hate Macha

[Providence A's]

A's win 9 - 3...Zito gets his 100th career win and 14th win this season.

[A'sDiehard]

IMO often we win despite our manager.

Good win.

[Providence A's]

I swear, Billy must be taking a leak or something when Macha makes some of these decisions...

[Providence A's]

apparently, it was Zito who begged Macha to let him stay in and try to get the 1 hit shutout...Zito said it was for personal reasons (it would have been his first 1 hit shutout and it was for his 100th win)....I still don't like the decision, but whatever.

[Rufio181]

Nice performance by Zito.

[Providence A's]

1 - 0 A's in the 2nd on a Payton ground out.

[Providence A's]

2 - 0 in the 3rd on a Frank Thomas SF...1541 career RBIs now.

[A'sDiehard]

Swisher HR and it's 3-0.

[Providence A's]

4 - 0 now on a Kendall single...Kendall is now hitting .293 BTW

[A'sDiehard]

4-0 A's on the Kendall single.

[A'sDiehard]

Nice job by Blanton to get out of what was shaping up to be a rough inning. 4-0 A's after four.
