Game 100 - A's 7th of 10

As usual all statistics were found at the day by day database at Baseball Musings.

Snyder tries to continue his good starts by facing Oakland for the 5th time in his career. In 24 1/3 innings he has a 4.44 ERA against the A's with his worst start being 10 days ago in Fenway. Personally I thought he pitched ok in that game and was 1 pitch away from getting out of a bases loaded jam with no outs with only 1 run being scored. Unfortunately for Kyle he was replaced by Seanez who promptly allowed 2 more runs to score.

At McAfee Colisuem he is 0-1 having pitched there in 2003 while with KC. In that game he went 7 innings (one of 2 quality starts against the A's), giving up 10 hits and only 2 earned runs. In his 4 starts against the A's he has struck out 16, walked 5 and given up zero home runs. All in all not a bad outings against the A's, just a little unlucky it seems to me.

Haren has started 3 games against the Sox, all of them in Fenway. He is 0 and 3 with a 4.60 ERA in 15 2/3 innings. His last start against the Sox was 11 days ago when he matched up with Schilling. Only one of his starts has been a quality start.

Danny has a career record of 12 and 9 at McAfee, with a 3.75 ERA and as a starter for the A's he is 20 and 21 with a 3.85 ERA. The Sox seem to have his number so lets hope that continues this afternoon.
