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.

okay, let's make it a 10-run lead tonight, then...

because the Sox may have more than 3 innings to pound out runs with the way Rich is pitching the 6th.

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.

Crazy ass rivercats game

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.

Almost a great play

which counts only in horseshoes, etc.

We also have DiNardo and Braden -

We’re stacked with mediocre lefties in the pen right now.

Where's Braden and DiNardo?

If you’re not going to use them now, when will you ever use them?

tomorrow in a close game

because Devine is unavailable.

The A's colors are green and gold.

A clearly-audible "FARK" was heard on that last swing

I thought that was just the fans' way of rooting for

Kevin Farkilis.

Not excuse for the Sox

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

Oh and Wakefield, knucklehead.

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!!

Perfect night to invite a Boston fan over to watch a game :-)

My buddy just left and missed the new, old Huston.

Does Bobby Crosby cRoss Dress for Less?

Did I mention how much I hate the fact that the Red Sox have won the World Series...

I would love a sweep right here but 2 of 3 would be just fine.

No pressure, unlike Atlanta

where he nearly let the Braves win it.

Why is there a bomb attached to his right leg?

And how did he get the Clear card?
