08:10 AM ET 06.09 | Hideki Matsui, to some degree, may be trying out for his own team. Matsui's future is cloudy, but the A's don't really know if he's got anything left unless he gets at least one more stretch of regular play to see if he can get going. I asked manager Bob Geren today if he could see getting Matsui in for a decent stretch to see if he comes around, and he said, "I do, I do. That's a good possibility." ... So might Matsui get this series in Chicago to play consecutively? Longer? If he falls flat, is this the end of the line? I don't know if his history of hitting in the second half will be enough to keep him in an Oakland uniform if he doesn't start hitting. I know the Japanese reporters all worry that the end will be soon.

"Matsui's future is cloudy"
Let me "clear the sky." 2 RBI in 2 weeks ain't gonna cut it.

Seems like his swan song was the 2009 post season.

You can bet he saved every dime he made, he'll be alright in retirement, unlike some other 'live for today' players
