Brandon McCarthy, SP, OAK News: A’s starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy was scratched from his start on Sunday against the Giants, as he continues to deal with linger soreness in his pitching shoulder. McCarthy has dealt with this issue since May, and has been skipped in the rotation a few times as the A’s have tried to diagnose exactly what is wrong. He has pitched just once in the last two weeks, and he told MLB.com after Saturday’s game that it is starting to wear on him. "The last two weeks have been about as mentally harrowing as I’ve had in my career, where it’s just dealing with pain every day,” he said. A replacement starter has not been announced as of Saturday night, and it is not known how long this will continue to be an issue.

Prospect Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 56 Location: Minnesota	#8 Posted: 6/24/2012 12:50:04 PM Looks like a solid pick to me, SkipspikS! Cain has been lights out lately and Oakland appears to be going south a little bit after playing well for the last couple of weeks or so. Not to mention, your SF selections have worked well for you as they've won six times for you during your streak. The only possible fly in the ointment is Griffin's minor league stats have looked pretty good but, then again, he's not pitching against a minor league team today. Best of luck today!

The A's are starting a kid that was pitching AA ball this year.

Veteran Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 1613 Location: New Jersey	#18 Posted: 6/24/2012 7:41:31 PM I didn't pick the game on covers but I did on SFTC, I only had a 2 game winning streak which is nothing but to lose a 20 gamer with 1 strike to go thanks to an awful closer....... I feel for you (and for anyone else for that matter likepkeehan that had a double digit streak on this) when it comes to baseball the best research can fail when you pick a team based on their form and the starting pitchers and the starter of the team you and I chose did his job (in this case Matt Cain for the Giants) and then the bullpen possibly even the closer wrecks it. But what happened here has to be tough on anyone, I'm sorry once again for this awful heartbreaking loss.

I wrote how I thought this was a trap game and because of the huge rivalry. Oakland would win. Your run was outstanding. I'm sorry it had to be so painful but you can get another one going.
