It’s Major League Baseball’s inaugural “rivalry weekend,” and the San Francisco Giants will host the Athletics of Arabia or whatever. I’m not sure there’s much of a rivalry left here, as the A’s have been forcibly uprooted from Oakland (meaning out of the Bay Area) and into the Giants’ Triple-A stadium. About the only edge the A’s have left is their tendency to find a lot of young, useful talent, even if the total roster doesn’t cohere. But the Giants can match them at least a little bit, thanks to second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald, activated ahead of tonight’s game.
Great timing, Tyler Fitzgerald!
