Here are the lineups:

Robinson Cano 2B
Jose Molina C
Brett Gardner LF

Andy Pettitte LHP (9-6, 4.22 ERA)

Notes: Giambi is a .125 hitter against Kazmir and has struggled a little bit lately so I think it's a good move to sit him today.

good news on the wild card front, Harden traded the Cubs. The A's are playing excellent baseball and Harden was a big part of it. Its like they've lost their ace for the rest of the season, like us with Wang. They got some good talent back, but mostly for the future. Now its us, the Sox/Rays, Twins and Tigers. If the A's hold on the rest of the year I will be impressed. If we can get in the postseason, while at the same time knocking out the Sox, I think we'll have a very good shot at winning it all. Yanks/Cubs World Series?

Unbelieveable.

i think its time to get rid of Melky. He's a 4th outfielder, either trade him or start Gardner over him, especially when we get Matsui and Damon back.

There's the capatain clutch I know! Finally we get a 2 out hit!

of course! just when we start hitting him we get gunned down. that could be a game changer.

good win... but those fucking Red Sox won another game they should have lost. Those pussies get so lucky all of the time, especially at home.

Very good win in convincing fashion last night. I was there and got hammered, which was also fun.
