(Un)fortunately, a logarithmic scale is actually possible with the current version of the Google Charts API, it's just a bitch to rig up. You'll need to specify each axis label, rather than just providing a range, and you'll need to manually adjust each data point.
I'm with everyone else in saying that an extra parameter to specify a linear or logarithmic scale would be a great addition, but everyone who's having this problem should keep in mind that they can still manually arrange a graph with a logarithmic scale. If you're generating the parameters for the chart with some scripting language, it shouldn't take much effort, either.
