So, Loaiza didn't end up pitching tonight, and the game was far from a pitcher's duel (11-10 in favor of the A's was the final). It was fun being at the ballpark though, and sometimes a hit-fest is fun to watch, and this being a game of no consequence, fun was what it was all about.
Mike Piazza hit a home run, and Nick Swisher hit two, but the most amazing thing was that Swish laid off the first two pitches (both strikes) that he saw tonight. He isn't exactly the paragon of plate discipline.
I took Dan Johnson as my last draft pick, as sort of a sleeper pick, hoping that perhaps he's corrected the trouble he was having seeing the ball during night games, but it's all for naught as he was placed on the Disabled List tonight. Ugh.
