Well that was uglier and more frustrating than it needed to be. Moving on.

This evening LHP Felix Doubront (22 IP, 2.2 K/BB, 106 ERA+) faces off against RHP Jarrod Parker (6-1/3 IP, 5.0 K/BB, 300 ERA+), who came to Oakland in the Trevor Cahill deal. His first AL start was against the same White Sox lineup we just left behind in Chicago. Tonight he'll find himself in an entirely different ballgame.

Go Felix! Go Sox!

Clay doesn't deserve to be at the top of the "W" list for the Sox. Felix does, I think. Go Sox!!

OK, I guess Felix was due for a stumble. But that's no reason to give the game away!

LET'S GO RED SOX!!!

Naturally, Middlebrooks picks now for a "minor thumb injury".
