No question they squandered chances. But the Sox still had to take advantage of them.

did anybody get flashbacks of Jeter's amazing cut-off play (also in Oakland, I think) to nail the runner at home a couple years ago?

No one south of that line from Milford to Albany.

You don't think so? I thought the parallel was pretty uncanny. Shortstop well out of normal playing range, alertly fields a ball that he would normally be nowhere near and throws out a runner who thought he had an easy base. Derek's play was obviously much more unusual and therefore memorable, but I thought it was an interesting bit of deja vu.

BTW, have you heard if Damon's ready to play yet?

As of noon today, I read that no decision has been made on his return date yet. He had a "serious" concussion but no structural damage. (Thank goodness it was only his head. Why wasn't he wearing a mouthguard?
) He stayed in an Oakland hospital overnight. I don't know when/if he'll fly to NY.
I also saw this on ESPN.com this morning:

A's angered by Lowe's 'celebration'
After the Game 5 loss on Oct. 6, the A's thought Derek Lowe simulated a sexual act with his arms and made a gesture toward his crotch following the final out, sending A's shortstop Miguel Tejada into a rage in the clubhouse moments later. "Derek Lowe is going to be paid back for that sign," Tejada screamed hysterically through the clubhouse, shouting expletives. "My kid is in the stands. He's going to pay." A's GM Billy Beane escorted the crying Tejada away. Tejada was later told that Lowe apologized.

I have to admit that's the impression I got on watching it live, but I didn't think that it was done intentionally. It looked bad, but I didn't think it was done to be that kind of gesture. Kind of like when somebody uses the middle finger to point to something on the chalkboard. Did you get the impression that he was directing it toward the Oakland dugout?
Last thing. Not sure I can mention this here, but. . . oh, wait. This
is the basketball forum, right? Oh, ok. The ECAC test just got posted on the website. Gonna print it up today.
