Sorry Buehrle, we called this one.

The only way to prove how prophetic Those Girls actually ARE would be to make all of our phone conversations public, so you'll just have to take my word for it. This morning we were talking about this series, along with plans for the KC series. When discussing the Mark Buehrle start tonight, our verbatim pronouncement was "he's due for a crappy start," defying conventional wisdom and various ESPN personalities' predictions.

Sure, he straightened things out there at the end, but he was just crappy enough for me to be convinced that our proclamation made it so.

Good job bullpen! I have a feeling that there might be more than a handful of Twins fans suffering a wee bit of brain damage from holding their breath for 4 whole innings, but it's worth it. I think a congratulatory "Boof pitch good!" is in order. And Carlos Gomez catching that A.J. ball? Holy crap....that was awesomeness at its most awesome.

We still have one more Sox game to get through, so I was very careful to ignore the powerful urge to happy-dance tonight. No jinxing. I am allowing myself to look forward to a couple of ESPN folks eating some crow tomorrow, though.
