1. Yes, we will be having another Game Thread competition this spring for any aspiring writers out there. More info in the coming days.

2. Buck Mills is starting, because he's on our team again. Dolla Dolla Mills Y'all!

3. There will be several A's players in this game who you have never heard of, unless you carefully scoured Jeremy's position player intro post yesterday. (see link below)

4. You guys, Ben Zobrist is on the A's now. Zorilla!

5. The game is radio only today. On terrestrial radio, the game is on KNBR 680 with the regular San Francisco Giants broadcasters.
