Open Thread: Game 2 - A's vs. Red Sox (cont)

The A's and Red Sox head to the bottom of the third, as the A's try to add to their 1-0 lead, courtesy of Bobby Crosby's double and Norfie's RBI single.

James Richard Harden is dealing; he has 5 K's through three, helped out by a BIG catch by newChavez.
