Game Thread #106: A’s vs. Giants

Alas, we’re living in the P.S. (post-Sonny) era.

However, the Giants are on our side of the Bay, and if you haven’t heard, they’re straight-up awful.

In fact, just today, with the Phillies’ win over the Braves, the Giants officially hold the worst record in the Majors at 40-66 (.377).

The tweet speaks for itself.

Paul Blackburn will take the mound for the Athletics. In his last outing, he went seven scoreless innings while only giving up two hits.

Matt Cain will start for the Giants, and he certainly has not been exempt from their downward spiral.

I thought last night’s game would be the last we saw of Alonso or Lowrie, but here they are. (Sorry Rosie, someone had to go).

Feel whatever you feel about the trade, but the A’s are primed to pounce.

Klay Thompson will be throwing out the first pitch.
