Oakland is not winning 100 games this year.

I’ll tip my cap. I expected them to be about 5 or more games back by now. But I do expect them to finally crack this week with their rotation issues and the pressure that’s putting on their bullpen.

I do really hate our 7 game creampuff road trip is the final 7 games.
I think it’s a whole lot harder to be bad teams when you HAVE to beat bad teams.
Would much rather have those games next week and get the 5-2 or so record under your belt rather than having to beat them the final week to clinch.

In summary, f selig.

From back on Sept 10.

took them long enough, but the most they can get is 99.

good effort, Oakland. But kiss the ring 

 

[realgreggym 835]

OK AJ. Get that playoff rotation set up for Cleveland.  I hate Cleveland.

[TonyTexas 10509]

[mycox 582]

I was going to take a 1/2 day off and watch the game at a bar tomorrow. Thanks a lot Oakland. Looks like work all day now.

ALDS starts next Friday
Cole’s last regular season start will be this Thursday. JV on Friday
Sat and Sun are TBD and can be completely dedicated to postseason audition.
That’s better than last year when Astros still had a chance for #1 seed until the second to last day of the season.

The last 5 games of this year are completely
meaningless from a postseason positioning standpoint.

[Victor Lazlo 1776]

Nice

Better not fuck with us cause we're stronger and our nuts hang much longer, much longer and longer than the West.

I think you meant 83 game streak of winning when the Astros also win.

[Victor Lazlo 1776]

No shit. ^^^

Thought we would never shake them.

I don't see why your plans have to change. 

[hornian 5211]

Got laid last night and woke up this morning to see the Mariners did us a solid. Good last 12 hours!

[Simon Honeybone 113]

Coming in as the 2 seed is definitely preferred this year

Very cool. Being the smart ass that I am my favorite part is the dad who tweeted this has "baseball coach" on his twitter bio, his entire  youth team in his header yet doesn't know how to teach his own son the proper way to throw a baseball.  

[Post Oak 20209]

Dont know if y'all saw this but its a great example of humanity and why baseball is so great.  

thought y'all might like it.  Go Rangers.

Looking forward to the Sparky locker room drunk fest this afternoon.
