Series Notes
-Duke should be back Friday
-Kennedy began a throwing program recently
-Ellis has been fielding ground balls, but shouldn't be back until the 3rd week in July or so
-Bradley has been shutdown completely until he is pain free
-Thomas should be off the DL on June 30th...the start of a 10 game home stand before the ASG
-No other updates on Harden since the last one stating that the injury is not as bad as they thought and that he should be back after the ASG

If Duke comes off the DL like he is expected to today, then someone will need to be sent down to AAA...

[Providence A's]

Duke is back tonight and the A's place Witasick back on the DL retroactive to June 20th with left ankle tendonitis to make room for Duke.

[Providence A's]

apparently, it's turn back the clock night...1970s style

[Providence A's]

no score after 1...Blanton looks good so far...1-2-3 with a k...Chavez doubled for the A's only hit so far

[Providence A's]

no score after 2...

[A'sDiehard]

Blanton just walked Bonds with the bases loaded.......make him swing the damned bat!!!!

[Providence A's]

2 - 0 now in the 4th...triple and a single...

The A's offense today is about as weak as Nicole Richie.

[A'sDiehard]

Welp, hopefully we can get into that Giants bullpen here pretty soon.

[Providence A's]

2 - 0 after 5...Schmidt has 84 pitches after 5...hopefully, he won't last too much longer...

here we go...8 straight balls...1st and 2nd with no outs for Crosbert...

[Providence A's]

k, well, at least he didn't GIDP...1st and 3rd with 1 out

[A'sDiehard]
