Poor baserunning may cost Oakland. Emil Brown hits RBI double but gets caught in pickle between 2nd and 3rd. 6-5 Boston with 2 out.
these games mean "little" in terms of a 162 game season, but Boston will be kissing their lucky stars if they win the division by 1 game later in the year, because the A's should have won the game (if they don't really win it). A blown save, bad baserunning, etc...
I'll probably have forgotten about this play by that time of year, but you do have one hell of a point.
