there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

I’m convinced that Ensberg sold his soul for that one season.  

I am convinced he started thinking too much and worrying about walking too much.  I think the next season he had something like a 230 batting average with a damn near 400 OBP.  Sometimes you have to swing the damn bat.  And this is from a guy who strongly values getting on base.

We need to go 9-1 to win 100.  Might as well fuck around and do it.

This has been my dream since mid July. My guess is that we finish with 97.  I don't know that we want to catch Tampa.  That keeps us with HFA over the Pale hosers.  Just my thought.

Also- we can't possibly win today.  This team doesn't believe in sweeps anymore...

Wow

Did a double take/check of the standings because I knew the magic number was 3… didn’t realize the Mariners were back in front of them and that number applies to them, not the A’s

Yeah the A's are super fucked.  They get us 6 more and Seattle 3 more after today.  Seattle should finish ahead of them.

I tried telling y'all to stop worrying WTF Oakland was going to do several weeks back. The division was already ours back then and the Wild Card was an AL East deal back then.

I've been rooting for Oakland since early August.  I really wanted the first playoffs without both the Yankees and Red Sox in living memory* but it looks like at least 1 is going to make it.

It's pretty amazing the Angels, Orioles, Royals, and Tigers all made the playoffs in one year.
