I'm calling it. Buchholz is going to have a great game tonight. After putting up 25 runs in their last 3 games the A's bats are going to be pretty quiet while Clay is in the game.
What I am willing to predict about our offense tonight is that whatever we do tonight, we will do the opposite tomorrow for Lester.
Former Red Sox outfielders who will be back in town this weekend are Coco Crisp (.278, 3 HR and 11 RBI), Jed Lowrie (.286, 2 HR and 11 RBI) and Josh Reddick (.241, 1 HR and 9 RBI). Oakland will be giving out Coco Crisp garden gnomes this summer.
