The A's come home after their first venture through the AL West with a 5-5 record. Apparently they are exactly equal with all their AL West rivals.
The Athletics send Barry Zito with an 0-3 record and a 6.94 ERA. The surprising AL-leading White Sox have a surprising Jon Garland going to the hill with a 3-0 and a 2.57 ERA.
The A's lineup looks like this:
Kotsay
Kendall
Chavez
Hatteberg
Durazo
Ellis
Kielty
Swisher
Scutaro
The White Sox counter with this lineup:
Ozuna
Iguchi
Everett
Konerko
Dye
Rowand
Uribe
Widger
Crede
Jermaine Dye, the hard-luck Oakland Athletic for the past three seasons, makes his return for the Southsiders. He's hitting like he was in Oakland with a .177 average, although he does have three home runs.
Here we go guys, let's get this turned around.
LET'S GO OAKLAND!!!
