And then there was Duke
With Huston Street on the shelf, Justin Duchscherer picked up his first save of the year tonight. Although he blew one a couple days ago, he can do this job. Chavvy and Swisher went back to back. Both of them are amongst the league leaders in home runs. I can't believe I just wrote that but there it is. I get tired of trying to explain to everyone how great the A's are and how it is early and just because they are around .500 doesn't mean they aren' great, just that the statistics haven't had time to reach their asymptotic limits, which is the A's winning the west. But I am sure the A's are great and will win the west. I have been wrong before and they could have some major injury problems, but barring that, good times are ahead for these guys, if they aren't here already.
