Here’s the lineups for the A’s-Tigers series finale:

A’s — Weeks 2B, Sizemore 3B, Crisp CF, Willingham LF, DeJesus RF, Carter DH, Allen 1B, Suzuki C, Sogard SS; Moscoso RHP.

Tigers — Jackson CF, Kelly 3B, Young LF, Cabrera 1B, Martinez DH, Avila C, Guillen 2B, Dirks RF, Santiago SS; Verlander RHP.

–Just regular days off for Hideki Matsui and Cliff Pennington, as Bob Melvin said he wanted to use Monday’s off-day as a chance to get those guys two days of rest. So Chris Carter draws a start against Justin Verlander. Not the easiest assignment, but Melvin wanted to get him in the lineup sooner rather than later. Melvin had said previously he’d wait to play Carter against a lefty.

That’s all for now …

    Why are they having the premier in Oakland? Beane and Wolff want to move the team-except for exploitation lies like movies?
    Comcast asked Pitt what he thinks of the present A’s-HE RAN WAY! He wouldnt answer that other then mumble and run.
    Slick Billy..all thats wrong with American business.
    He’s building Pinto’s and Vegas and Gremlins for A’s fans as a part owner while other teams build modern winners.
