A’s behind early again. But AJ Burnett kind of sucks, so there’s still some hope. AJ Burnett kind of sucks, but has struck out four of our hitters in two innings, so we’re doomed.

1. Base-clogging!
Kouzmanoff’s drive off the wall in center led to an unusual sight for the A’s: All three runners scored bing, bang, boom, with Jack Cust trotting in and Mark Ellis sliding in a few moments later, nearly tripping up Rajai Davis, who was right on his heels.
2. I wonder if he also had the [...]

Freddy Garcia vs. Vin Mazzaro
From a flurry of Slusser twitter we learn:
1. Crisp cf, Barton 1b, Suzuki c, Cust dh, Kouzmanoff 3b, Ellis 2b, Gross rf, Watson lf, Pennington ss
2. Bailey unavailable with back spasms, but feeling better.
3. BowzerBowers back up
4. Sheets to DL with sore elbow. So much for trading him.
5. Anderson [...]

Berkeleyside has an interview with the owners of Cultured.
I like telling people about how naturally fermented foods are their own food group, part of a time-honored tradition in many cultures, and they benefit digestion. They’re vibrant, alive, and they add that zing, zest, or, pow on the plate — they’re a great flavor addition [...]

Trevor Cahill (2-2, 3.68) vs. Brian Matusz (2-4, 5.26)
Davis CF, Barton 1B, Suzuki C, Kz 3B, Sweeney RF, Rosales LF, Fox DH, Ellis 2B, Pennington SS
I was impressed by Matusz in his earlier start against Oakland, when he struck out 8 and walked only 1 (though he did eventually allow three runs). Apparently he hasn’t [...]

Gio vs. Matt Palmer in a battle of 5th starters.
Palmer faces the same lineup the A’s used in games 1, 2, and 4.
Gio faces a bunch of guys wearing bright red, including the whifftastic Brandon Wood and the .300-hitting Jeff Mathis.
Time to drink a beer or three and watch the first-place A’s against the last-place [...]

1. SuSlu1: Jake Fox is out of options. AFAICT, the rules themselves aren’t really that complicated, but MLB doesn’t make the information about each player available to the public or (apparently) even to the players.
2. SuSlu2: Duchscherer is in the best shape of his life the last few days.
3. SuSlu3: Devine and DiNardo also feeling [...]
