I’m not really comprehending this lineup against Buchholz. I guess we should just be grateful Crosby’s not in there.

    And….Geren’s gone, apparently. Wonder what happened..?

      Beats me. I was in a state of boredom and wasn’t really paying attention until I glanced up and saw Geren in an ump’s face.

      Mephistopheles: “But obviously we get your soul.”

      Me: “Starting right now or after I’m dead?”

      Mephistopheles: “Now.”

      Me: “Can you throw in ultimate knowledge or a passel of virgins or something?”

      Mephistopheles: “No, just the Red Sox thing.”

      Me: “F*** it. It’s worth it. Deal.”

    I have a loggerhead musk that’s only about 5 inches…

    God, I’m bored. Is this game actually boring, or am I just having an ADD day?

        Mauer ground rule double.

        Perfecto, no hitter, and shutout gone in three consecutive at bats.

    If Ellis doesn’t steal third, Rajai’s grounder results in runners 1st and 2nd, A’s still down a run.

      How on earth do we have 7 runs, they have 3 errors, and we only have 1 unearned run.

    I don’t even care if we win. We just rocked Papelbon, so the fact that I’ll be at work for another hour or two can’t ruin my day.

    Why? Why must we be stuck with Rajai in this situation?!

      so he can do that ;)

        Wasn’t watching so didn’t see how it all went down, but:
        1) while Raj used to look utterly clueless at the plate, lately he’s been having good at bats, staying with the ball, and connecting with some authority
        b) he’s not great defensively, but he couldn’t have a worse arm than Hairston
        iii) Sonic Youth at the Independent must’ve sold out in like 12 seconds today
