Justin Duchscherer got his first win as an Oakland Athletic yesterday and the
offense came alive (even
Ramon got a home run) to propel the A's to 2.5 game lead over the sinking
Mariners. Tonight is the
last tailgate party of the year. Chef Boyardean and Cathy have everything
organized to make it one of
our best yet. Chicken Fajitas, Burgers, links, and other sumptuous faire will
be enjoyed by all. There
is still time, however, to enter your "dip" into the best dip/salsa contest with
prizes to the winner. Party
starts tonight at 5:30 in Parking Lot B in the South Parking Lot. Ted Lilly
goes for his 4th win in a
row and against Jerod Washburn of the Anaheim Angels. See everyone there!

Special Thanks to Outfielder Billy McMillan and Detra Paige and Warren Chu of
the Community
Relations Department for ending the Green Stampede Tutoring Program on such a
high note. Next
tutoring program starts in only 7 months...

Go A's!!!
