From the Sac Bee coverage of last night's A's romp comes my favorite quote of all time:
After an uninspiring spring in which he started 3 for 23, Durazo hit the second pitch he saw into the left-center-field bleachers, staking Hudson to a 2-0 lead in the second.

In the fifth, he launched a two-out, bases-loaded blast toward the same spot.

Though this one was 10 feet shorter, it banged off the top of the fence, cleared the bases and ended Garcia's night.

" 'Mongo' was an animal tonight," Hudson gushed. "Let him out of his cage, and he goes crazy."

Lovin' me some sportswriters, ladies and gents.
