Red Sox @ A's; 3 game series

I love it when a woman says anyhoodles I could see the A's splitting the series.

It'd be pretty hard to split a 3-game series

I agree with HCG that the A's have their work cut out for them, but I could see them taking 2 games from this series. Not that I would put money on it, but they definitely could win game 3 as well as 1 of the first 2.

I thought I read about four games. Ooops!

I like the Sox to take 2 of 3, as their bats are due to breakout and the young staff of OAK will have a hard time with the patient Red Sox lineup

Why thank you.

Yeah like I said, we're only as good as our pitchers. Then again, your pitchers aren't doing so hot either. Then again, our lineup, while good on paper, hasn't performed quite up to par just yet. Then again, it's just the beginning of the season. So yeah it could go either way I suppose.

So so so so so we're leading 7-2 in the top of the eigth!!!!! We got five runs right off the bat in the second, and Braden's did a great job at stifling the Sox offense (with the exception of Youkilis). Nice to see our offense picking it up too. The two homers by Cust and Garciaparra (against his old team nonetheless) were great. Let's hope Casilla can shut 'em down the rest of the way!

A's finished up the Red Sux 8 - 2. Hopefully, they can win at least 1 more to take the series.

So I was planning to go to tonite's game, but I now have a fever, so I can't (frickin hail storms over here with like 40 degree weather and a wind chill that makes it even colder. I wasn't even outside for more than 10 minutes and I'm already sick. Joy).


One down, one on, Ortiz at the plate. Let's get this party started!

[hot_corner_gurl]

Well that inning couldn't have gone better. Wtf was Eveland's problem? There was absolutely no control! And tonite is a pitcher's nite too! Gallager was called to warm up, and it's only the first inning! Yikes!

[hot_corner_gurl]

Matt Holliday ftw! Two run double and it's now 3-2!

[hot_corner_gurl]

Tie game! Cust with the RBI.

5-3 A's lead! RBIs by Buck and Ellie. Keep it going boys!

[hot_corner_gurl]

Uh oh Nomar's out of the game... first Chavez, now Nomar. What next?

A's pull off the walkoff win in extras to take the series. Great win for the A's and a great outing for the A's bullpen. They looked outstanding as we all thought they would.
