A'S PREPARE FOR "THE BALLPARK"

Tonight the A's and Rangers will kickstart their second series meeting of the season.  In the first meeting, the A's bested Texas 3-1 in the four-gamer.  Mark Mulder pitched a complete shutout in game #3.  In game 4, however, A's closer Billy Koch blew a save and allowed for a big Texas 9th inning.  Alex Rodriguez hit his 1st homer of the season in that game.  The Rangers look for redemption here at home.

Game 1: OAK - Mark Mulder (1-0, 0.00) vs. TEX - Kenny Rogers (0-1, 3.38)
