King Richard the Hardenth (not sure how you do that in Roman numerals) tries to get the A's even in the series tonight against southpaw Jarrod Washburn (5-1, 2.29 on the road, but only 1-3, 5.17 at home). While both Scot Shields and K-Rod have pitched two days in a row, and 4 days out of 5, Macha has his bullpen guns lined up for the next two days. Standing by for tonight's Family Feud are Justin Duchscherer, Kiko Calero, and Huston Street, ready for action! Tomorrow, those still available are joined, for the final round, by Jay Witasick and Joe Kennedy.
"20 seconds on the clock, please...Joe's answers are on the board...OK, Jay: Name a flavor of pillow often associated with turtles..."
"Um...Pass..."
"Name an eight-letter word that starts with a silent `3'..."
"...Pass."
"I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 7,000,000. Guess it exactly..."
"Um...4,733,612?"
BUZZ!!! "Try again..."
"4,733,613."
"Name a bar I can go to after the show to try to forget what's happened to my career..."
