Today's game wasn't as good as the other 2 this weekend.  The offense was good again, but the pitching was not good.  It was the usual suspects, Bruney, Farnsworth, and one unusual suspect, Steven White, were the ones that did the damage.  But that's expected whenever Bruney and Farnsworth take the mound.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  I found it interesting that Giambi came back with a great game today after Shelley had a great game yesterday.  A competition is brewing.  Lane was solid today, I was impressed.  Giambi earns Player of the Day honors and Andy Pettitte earns Pitcher of the Day honors.  Today's Igawa for A Day Award goes to Steven White.

Be back with more stuff later.
