I doubt she'll be reading this, since she lives on the East Coast and she's not an A's fan, but still, Happy Birthday Cousin Becky.

In Moneyball news, Paul DePodesta doesn't want his name in the movie.

Believing the script’s image of him was inaccurate and unable to convince the filmmakers to alter the depiction, DePodesta requested his name be removed from the character.

In A's baseball news, this weekend has some great pitching matchups. I'll be there tonight for Cliff Lee vs. Dallas Braden, I'll miss tomorrow's Rich Harden vs. Gio Gonzalez meetup which will be on FOX, and Sunday features Colby Lewis vs. Trevor Cahill.
