Big Time Road Trip

.. ALL ANERS>>!

The upcoming roadtrip to Texas, Cleveland, and Boston deserves its own diary. This road trip is huge folks, HUGE. Every game in Texas comes down to the end, taking a toll on bullpens. We haven't been able to win in Cleveland for two years now, and they are a much better team. And Boston.. we all know what has happened in Boston over the years. They have a great lineup and in a ballpark they know how to play in. It's not just winning these games; hopefully our pitching staff will not suffer because of this trip. I think that road trip will have a lot to do with our postseason hopes. What do you guys think the keys to getting through this roadtrip are? And do you guys agree that this is huge?

Of course it is big

but then again at this stage in the season every series is huge. The problem at this time of the year is that teams out of contention start throwing young arms just up from the minors and more often than not they shut your team down.
I would rather play a team in contention, they have nerves also, and are tight. I worry a little about Texas because they are throwing pitchers we haven't faced before. I never worry about the A's pitching, barring an injury to Harden. If we can roll out our starting pitching we will do fine. We overmatch every team in the league with our pitching. It is our hitting that is suspect, we have been shut out 9 times this year and mostly against mediocre pitching. I do worry about Fenway, that house of horrors.
