OAKLAND -- Yet another A's starter is headed for Tommy John surgery.

Daniel Gossett will become the fourth Oakland pitcher to undergo the ulnar collateral ligament repair surgery this year when he goes under the knife Wednesday.

Yes 1 day shipping on dry ice. They taste identical to the actual restaurant

Good choice. I like Pizanos too. Avoid Giordono's (tourist trap)

Oakland has caught the M's for the second wild card. Percentage points will separate them. M's will have one fewer loss.

the dodgers are 6-6 with Machado

The M's still lead the series 6-3..but at least they caught them.

That's interesting. Is there any kind of tiebreaker in baseball, where winning the season series might figure in? 

So, it looks like the A's and M's still have ten more games against each other.

yes, it is used to determine home field advantage in case of a one-game playoff for division titles and the 2nd WC berth

Uno is good (never had Due). 

I grew up on shitty California pizza, so literally every pizza place in Chicago tastes like manna to me. Name any joint and I will say it's delicious.

Both very good and about a block apart. Due has a thin crust version that I like. Both in the River North area close to the major hotels. Original Portillos is right up the street also.

I like the Malnati's further North, (off Rush st)  Nice atmosphere.
