Oakland is goofy, kinda like Dodger stadium. Balls fly with the sun out for 1 pm games (local) but they die at night. A lot of weeks you will only play one day game (sunday) so you could luck out and get that night air a lot. Or you could get stuck throwing a lot of day games if your turn keeps poppin up. THe Padres have wanted Zito and the Cards will surely be in on him too but nobody has coveted him more than JP Riccardi so I expect Zito to eb a Jay next week as they will let Burnett go sign Giles and trade for Zito. Their challenge will be finding prospect fits for the A's

good to see loaiza get paid. he was the man on the south side for a year, and he is what got us our Ace in the 2005 Playoffs when we won the World Series.

Zito will likely be traded now:
