The A's and Danny Haren with a 4-7 record take on the Mariners and Aaron "Suddenly Rejuvenated" Sele with a 6-5 record and a 3.79 ERA.
Two very hot pitchers go head to head in a pitcher's park. So, we'll probably see a 12-10 game. Sele is 2-1 and has a 2.41 ERA. He's given up only five runs in 18.2 innings.
Haren is 2-0 with a 3.48 ERA in June and has given up only eight runs over 20.2 innings. He's also got a 4:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
The A's go with this lineup tonight:
Kendall
Kotsay
Crosby
Chavez
Hatteberg
Kielty
Johnson
Swisher
Ellis
The Mariners counter with this group:
Suzuki
Winn
Beltre
Sexson
Ibanez
Lopez
Reed
Morse
Borders
Bret "Bat-Flippin'" Boone has apparently been benched for the series. I certainly don't mind not seeing that guy suit up. Frankly, he annoys me to no end.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!!
