Harden vs. Halladay this Wednesday

Two of baseball's best pitchers match up at the Oakland Coliseum

Pete Crooks
The Oakland A's are off to an amazing start this season, and are coming off a three game sweep over the world champion Boston Red Sox. If you haven't been to a game this season, Wednesday night's match-up against Toronto is a good one. First thing to notice is the pitching match-up. The A's will send Rich Harden—who, when he's healthy, has great stuff— to the mound against the Blue Jay's former Cy Young winner Roy Halladay. Second, this is the first series in which A's slugger Frank Thomas faces his former Jays teammates, since leaving the team earlier this season in an ugly fallout with management. The A's signed Thomas for a steal, and it would be extra sweet to see him do some damage against his former team. Third, every Wednesday at the Coliseum is Double Play Wednesday, meaning there are a limited number of tickets available for $2, and hot dogs cost $1 throughout the stadium. Go A's!
