Harden is starting for Oakland. Keeping my fingers crossed that his arm doesn't just fall off during one of his pitches.

I'm toughing it out to watch because it's spring break, but the Oakland fans are really getting screwed. It's a home game for the A's, but it's in another continent so 2 fewer games in Oakland that I can go to. All the fans in Tokyo are rooting for the Red Sox because of Dice-K and Okajima, so everyone is rooting against the "home" team. And it's timed such that it's a huge pain in the ass for A's fans to watch the games, whereas Sox fans might be up anyway. Why couldn't they at least play the games on the weekends in the morning local time, so we can watch the games in the evening? MLB really screwed Oakland, but hey who cares cause we're supposed to suck anyway, right? xsmhx xoopsx

I think it's going to be a short outing for Lester, he's getting hit hard.

Harden has 7K through 4 innings, looking good.

So, are we going to get a game thread for each BoSox game? Now that they lost, I do not think they are "chasing history"...

I did the game threads because it was a significant series, i had never entertained the thought to game thread every game, just these two and Yankee games, but perhaps I should.... certainly seems like it would annoy atleast a few people :p
