Well, how about that on a Friday night? The A's take the first game of the series from the Mariners by the score of 3-2, as Coghlan's two RBI, including a game-winning home run, and Josh Reddick's solo home run made up the offense, while Surkamp's start, backed by Rodriguez, Axford, Doolittle and Madson from the pen took care of the Mariners.
I'm starting a campaign. We have buttons and everything: Coghlan for second base over Lowrie! Coghlan over Crisp in the outfield! Seriously, his sixteen home runs and eleven stolen bases last year are screaming for playing time, and his two hits and two RBI today are not disagreeing with me.
