Imagine being Oakland.  Falling back in the wild card race, and then losing to a SP who isn't even good enough to be an opener.

If Oakland was really close to knocking Houston out of the division lead or the Yankees out of the WC, I'd be throwing Sunday lineups out there against them to try and help them out. Would love to see them in the postseason with this team.

Real good win.  Stinks Houston won but if Cole is out that is a blow to the Yanks.  

They need to address the Vaughn situation as it is becoming crazy how bad he is with men in scoring position.  Stranded 8 yesterday.  Maybe they shut him down when Engel comes back.  

Tip of the cap to Jimmy Lambert, good for him and the offense.

It's hard to come back from what they had to endure in Toronto. We were sitting here thinking the Sox bullpen sucked against the Jays, but the A's blew an 8-2 lead with 2 outs in the 8th and then gave up just enough runs to lose despite a rally in the 9th the next day.

Despite Oakland being Oakland,  2 HBP and 1 HBLID ( hit by liner in dugout) and a boatload of runners left on base, there were enough good things going on to overcome it.

> Jimmy Lambert : 5 strong innings

> Non-Burr relief pitching : Crochet, Tepera, KImbrel, Hendricks

> 15 hits , 3 a piece by Leury and YoYo including the only 3 extra base hits the Sox got , 2 doubles by Moncada and 1 by Leury. No RBI's for either of them

> The ribbies. 2 by Goodwin a broken bat single  while facing a lefty after replacing Eloy. Sheets a single off a lefty to drive in a run in the 5th and went 2 for 5. Cesar an oppo single  driving in 2 in the 5th also with 2 hits on the night.

> Robert being Robert : He's done a nice job leading off in place of TA . He went 2 for 6 and made a nice running catch on a ball over his head. He also over ran a single that allowed a run to score.

> Grandal : He was 1 for 3 with a walk that drove in a run.

It takes a team.
