Andy Pettitte at the Mac
Barry Zito at the AT&TFirst the Yankees at McAfee - Andy Pettitte was in superb form, mowing down the youthful A's. Joe Blanton was doomed by Matsui's happy birthday grand slam especially since, true to the games he's pitched this year, he's had virtually no run support by his teammates. To Blanton's credit, he buckled down and pitched well the rest of the way. Still, no win. Then the Friday the 13th interleague game versus the Giants (weird to see the A's wearing road grays), the A's had Greg Smith going against Barry Z. Smith was wobbly but nothing compared to Barry, who simply couldn't place his pitches. It was really sad to see Zito pitching like that, sad too, to hear all the boos when he left the game after 5-2/3 innings.
