Red Sox completely blew it.  I only hoped for them to win one and last night was it.

Just win tonight and host the wild card on Friday.  That's the plan.  Maybe the tiebreaker if we're lucky.

Boston's starter tonight is 1-6 with a 7.68 era.

I think the O's should save Tillman for the wild card game (or division tiebreaker).

Throw Zach Britton out theree tonight in the arguably less meaningful game.

Anyone else have an opinion?

I think you can make a case for that.  But Buck seems to be pushing the right buttons this year.

We need to win order to ensure a home game for the wild card.  We don't play well in Oakland or Texas.

Yeah, unfortunately there's enough still at stake - home wild card game plus a chance at the division - that you've got to go with Tillman.  I may feel differently when Joe Saunders is facing the Rangers on Friday, though.

What makes you think that Britton against a Tampa club and crowd that doesn't give a shit equals automatic loss?

Tampa is hardly playing like a team that has packed it in (like, say, Boston).

In the almost 10 years I've lived in the Bay Area, I've turned an A's game (not involving the Angels) on TV exactly once: about the 6th inning of Dallas Braden's no-hitter.

Today is the second.

I agree with this.  Plus there's always the chance (albeit slight) that the Yankees will lose.  Let's wait until Friday to worry about Friday.

Not a good day for Hamilton.  Looks like Rangers get the wild card.

I guess my wild card ticket purchase was useless.

Plus I want to throw up.
