Coco Crisp homered and drove in three runs, including the go-ahead score in the sixth inning, to help the Oakland Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Wednesday night. Cliff Pennington also drove in a run for the A's, who won their fourth in six games. Gio Gonzalez (14-8) matched his career-high fourth straight victory after allowing three runs and six hits over 6 2-3 innings.

Daniel Hudson pitched seven effective innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped the San Francisco Giants' four-game winning streak with a 3-1 victory Wednesday night. Miguel Montero, Stephen Drew and Kelly Johnson each drove in a run for Arizona, which snapped a four-game skid. Hudson settled down after Freddy Sanchez's first-inning homer, allowing just four more hits.

Just like the old saying goes: when your only run comes on a Freddy Sanchez home run, your only run comes on a Freddy Sanchez home run. Woof. Keep sending those good, young pitchers into our division, you White Sox jackasses.

Team USA better not think that the next 3 games have Easy Buttons too.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Sixers 2010-11 preview for an open question: what’s the point?

dandibley: @ChrisHeggem I believe we show up with the grilling items and whatnot but I don't believe I am going to grill. Nobody wants that. @knbr

pcon34: Wow very "adult"...then he might be labeled as Buster Buttafucco! Haha! RT @ginamariechecke: I wish Posey would hit me with his bat... ;-)

pcon34: wonder if narco-dogs are addicted and thats why they are so eager to find the drugs...do owners/handlersgive them dope? Thatd be kinda lame.
