- Personal note: This was my final game covering the Oakland @Athletics. I've been one of the Chronicle's main backup beat writers covering the team since 2006, and I've been coming to the Coliseum either as a fan or a media member since the A's began playing here in '68 (1/2)...
- Manager Mark Kotsay says that he, @Athletics' players and coaches will acknowledge the crowd after tomorrow's Coliseum finale vs. @Rangers. Kotsay is unsure if anyone will speak to the fans as a whole: "I don’t think words can make it any easier for them."
- .@SFGiants’ Farhan Zaidi says Kris Bryant was as happy/excited to come to a team after a trade as anyone he’s ever acquired. Says Giants hoping to get Bryant in time for tomorrow’s game.
- Personal aside: I have known Bob Melvin for more than 4 decades. In that time, the qualities that define him — intelligence, respect, caring and an understated sense of humor — have remained strong. Oakland’s loss is San Diego’s gain.
- More from Kevin Mitchell, ahead of No. 22 retirement ceremony for @WillClark22: "I’ve got a lot of respect for him and love because he’s my brother, he’s my friend and he was a great teammate." Mitchell and Clark finished 1-2 in 1989 NL MVP voting. @SFGiants

- Bay Area baseball: @SFGiants: 20-13, 2-game winning streak, lead NL West by 2.5 games @Athletics: 21-14, 2-game winning streak, lead AL West by 2 games, pending outcome of @Mariners-@Rangers game

00:00 - Sad to announce that longtime Bay Area broadcaster Bob Fouts has died at 97. Bob, who spent more than a decade calling @49ers games, was the father of @ProFootballHOF QB Dan Fouts.
