First Jeter gets his 12th steal of the season, then Matsui with an RBI triple.

God, I love this big field.

5-1 Yankees.

[elicoleman]

RBI single by Sheff, 6-1

In all three at bats, the pitches in which he hit the ball have all been at his shoulder.

What a great play by Bellhorn turning the double play.

[elicoleman]

Scutaro with a solo shot, 6-2 Yanks.

We head to the top of the 6th.

Huge jam we got out of. I was sure Payton had that homer.

Still 6-2, going into the 7th.

[elicoleman]

Witasick walks in a run, 7-2.

I don't know if this is close to a record of some sort, but the A's have already thrown 189 pitches in this game.

[ehh]

Big three game set over the next three days since we have the D-Rays at home and the Angels are in Boston. Hopefully those clowns can take two of three and we sweep the D-Rays. But I don't like LAA's chances in Fenway to take two of three, but I can hope.

Sadly, knowing the way things have gone this season, there's a better chance of the Angels taking two of three in Boston than us sweeping Tampa Bay at home.

You're not kidding either man.

I never thought I'd say I'm actually scared to play the Devil Rays, especially in September.

How great would it be if we could go into this weekend's Sox series tied for the AL East lead. Its not likely, but a man can dream.

As long as we're no worse than 2 or 3 back (as we currently are), thats fine.

I can't wait to see Small vs Schilling on Friday.
