brandin podziemski sizes it up this way. >> anybody in the league would rather have an 18 over the 19. you get two cracks at it to win one game. frankly, we're better on the road than at home. if we played the eighth seed, i think we can get it done. we're trying to sneak it to the eighth seed because it's right in front of us. >>> baseball, the giants were off today. they travel to tampa to kick off a six-game east coast road trip. >>> high fives in the a's dugout and why not? getaway game at the rangers, pick it up second inning and the first time this season i get to say downtown seth brown, his first homer for the year getting the a's on the board and that's all pitcher jp sears would need. he had a no-hitter broken up in the seventh inning when adolis garcia got through. he went 6 1/3 innings. a's win the game 1-0. their record is 5-8. they return home to host the nationals friday. >>> to golf, the 88th masters front and center and i wonder if a lot of folks called in sick today. all sees were on this guy, tiger woods, and many questioned if he would make the cut this weekend. so
