One thing obvious tonight is how much better the A's run the bases than the Twins.
I count 5 bases advanced tonight so far that the Twins wouldn't have gotten.
A little later a friend of the wife came up to us and said, "Being alive."
"Oh Helen," said my dead friend's wife, "thank you. He would have liked that."
As my friend's wife and I were standing there, another friend came up, looked at us both, and softly said "water pit."
"Thanks," I said. "I know you meant well."
