The A's lead the Red Sox 7-2 as we head to the bottom of the fifth. Frank Thomas and Mark Ellis both have hit three-run homers off Tim Wakefield, and Rich Harden is dealing.

we need more runs...
once the BoSux get into our pen, they’ll have 3 innings to pound out runs. I don’t want this game coming down to Street and a 1-run lead.

I just remembered why
I don’t like it when the Yankees or Red Sox visit.
I always listen to the radio broadcast, and sometimes I don’t pay careful attention. Usually I can tell from the sound of the crowd sound how it’s going. Cheers equals good for home team. But when the Red Sox are in town I get confused.

Gio got rocked (again) with 8 earned runs in 3.2 innings but Sacramento scored 11 in the top of the 3rd to take the lead 11-10. Game is currently in the sixth.
Chavvy not in the game but Carlos Gonzalez is 2-3 and Buck is 3-4.

Where's Braden and DiNardo?
If you’re not going to use them now, when will you ever use them?

But I think the travel to the West Coast affected them this game.

So know every time the Red Sox travel they will use the excuse that they are tired!
Give me a break….I really got tired of hearing at the beggining of the season how the trip to Japan really caused the Red Sox to get off to a slow start….But there was no mention of the A’s trip to Japan and the fact they were playing well….....
There is no A in OFFENSE!!

It's always a save situation with Street. He makes it interesting.
He looked awesome the other day.
