Oakland/Boston Meatball Game: Coffee Fog

From Monkeyball @ Athletics Nation:

sal·vage [sal-vij]: noun, verb, -vaged, -vag·ing. 1. the act of saving a ship or its cargo from perils of the seas. 2. the property so saved. 3. compensation given to those who voluntarily save a ship or its cargo. 4. the act of saving anything from fire, danger, etc. 5. what the Oakland Athletics ballclub must do in the third game of every series in the second half of 2008

Living in San Francisco, I try not to wake up on weekends until after the fog's burned off, but today's a morning game and even though I don't remember the last time we won a series, I need my A's fix. 

I'm eating blackberry waffles at my Boston friend's house.  Even though she's a Bosox fan, she's wearing an A's hat.   I can't decide if I like that or not.

Last night I had a dream that Mark Ellis has been kidnapped and kept in small dessert ranch.  I don't remember much else about the dream, except that I'm just remembering it now as Mark gets tagged out in the first in an attempt at a double.

Boston wins!  It's pretty boring the the same site (MLB.com) is listed so many times in a google search.
