UPDATE, 1:25 PDT - John Lackey left his start today with a strained right triceps and will miss at least a month of the season. Combined with Kelvim Escobar's injury problems, this could be huge.
It's Split Sad Squatterday!!! Through a miracle known in Science (and Trout Magazine) as fission, the A's - despite beginning the day as one single organism - are managing to host the Giants while they visit the Padres. It's truly incredulous, to the point where I am rendered incredible.
The starting lineups currently look like this:
Bucknorfia - CF
Ellilo - 2B
Cussweeny - DH
Chavannahan - 3B

You know, maybe I'll wait for the real ones. Stay tuned.
