Vida Throwback Jersey Day

The first 10,000 fans got cool yellow retro jerseys in honor of Vida Blue. He threw out the first pitch, then the A's beat the Fish 7-1, winning the series. Duchscherer was totally in command, even after giving up a solo homer in the first inning. His teammates helped by being aggressive on the bases. The Marlin's pitcher was a tall, willowy fellow by the name of Andrew Miller. He threw a lot of pitches early on and he was soon out of the game. I was looking forward to seeing Uggla, who hit 2 homers yesterday, but his bat wasn't talking today. Weather was bright and temps were in the low 70's. At game time, the UVA rating was 10, extremely high.
