Felix Hernandez will attempt to throw Major League Baseball's 24th perfect game and become the first to throw two as his Seattle Mariners take on the Oakland Athletics at Safeco Field tonight.
With an opportunity to turn around their season against a moribund White Sox team, the A's blew the game twice, in the 9th for the tie and the 12th to lose it 5-4. Somehow, someway, they found a way to make this September nightmare even more painful.
With the A's and White Sox squaring off for four games, I asked Jim Margalus and Steve Peters of South Side Sox a few questions about their favorite team. Here's what they had to say!
Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated reports that both the A's and Giants "are among teams interested in acquiring Chicago White Sox slugger Adam Dunn before the Monday deadline for postseason eligibility."
Dear A's Fans,
As I viewed the difficulties the offense was facing in these last few weeks, I encouraged everyone to hold you and the offense in their thoughts. Sorry for your loss.
