Open Thread: Spring Training 3/27 - A's vs. Rockies

I know before I know it, it will be October; the leaves will be falling off the trees, we'll be watching playoff baseball and reminiscing on the clean, crisp days of March, when anything and everything seemed possible, but wow, does this week take forever.

The A's will say goodbye to the Cactus League today as they play the Rockies before heading back home-ish to play the Giants; two in San Francisco, one in Oakland, and then....REAL BASEBALL!

Today's game will feature Jarrod Parker in his final Spring start. Things have thinned out for the middle infield quite a bit, as it was announced that Adam Rosales will start the season on the DL, and that Nakajima has a left hamstring strain.

Here are today's lineups:

YOU GUYS; IT'S ALMOST HERE!

LET'S GO -OAK-LAND!
