Yanks release Wild Card roster; Bird left off

NEW YORK -- The A's season is on the line tonight, when they take over Yankee Stadium for a date with the Bronx Bombers in the American League Wild Card Game.

The prize: A trip to Boston for an AL Division Series matchup with the Red Sox.

The A's rolled out their one-game playoff roster, which features 11 pitchers, 14 position players and few surprises.
