Sorry the game thread wasn't up sooner. I thought I had published it, but actually I was just standing there at the keyboard not typing anything and apparently that's not the same thing. But enough about Ryan Sweeney. Vin Mazzaro takes the mound, having won each of his first two major leagues start and none since. He is opposed by lefty Ricky Romero, former teammate of Kurt Suzuki at Cal-State Fullerton and the author of 7 shutout innings against the A's on April 19th.
The fact that Scott Hairston is batting cleanup elicits a snort from me, and not the good kind.
