The least tense game of the year

I had the good fortune to attend last night's humiliation of the Dodgers in section 315 and it was an odd feeling -- the game was pretty much over by the end of the second inning with the good guys up 7-0. The only real nervousness had to do with whether Barry Zito would revert to his never-surprising crappiness, but instead, he threw one of his occasionally superb games, with only a few Dodgers making anything close to solid contact.

Henry Schulman's recap in the SF Chronicle -- probably mostly hammered out before the sun went down around the 6th inning -- notes that the Gmen are only 2 games out of first.
