I hope tonight's Oakland A's starter Joe Blanton isn't superstitious in a religious way. At the start of tonight's game his ERA was 6.66! His ERA reflects his problems, as the rookie has yet to win a game in the majors.

As I sit here Vernon Wells of the Jays just hit a first inning solo home run. So much for a 6.66 ERA, but not in a way that Blanton wants.
