F*cking Oakland. Here they come

[mcnabb7542]

Sorry dudes.


It's a Double A lineup we're running out there.

Don't worry about it, Oakland will cool off the M's will find their bats and they'll end up getting the second wild card!

To much baseball left to be think the end is near!

A’s acquire Mike Fiers for 2 PTNL

The Mariners could have claimed him since they have a worse record and he also probably is an upgrade over Felix and Leblanc.

But Jerry doesn’t roll that way.

That's the most positive response I've ever seen from an Ms fan.

Yeah I’m a little surprised Dipoto let his happen.

Maybe ownership not allowing him to take on More payroll?

No real logical reason to not lay the block on Oakland and the Yankees

Two reasons I can think of

The cheapness of accidently ending up forking over some $$

Or Dipoto thinking he's smarter then everyone and not acquiring starters because he only gets middle relievers. Those guys again looked great yesterday

The A's just traded for our buddy Fernando Rodney. Just wonderful

 

[Duders]

Just checking in and see the sacks were loaded with 2 outs and 2 runs score-Paxton pulled. Oh well

Oakland is serious about a WC. Too bad SFB Dipoto isn't serious. We'll just watch the A's continue their run.

"The Athletics added some needed starting pitching by acquiring Mike Fiers from the Tigers this week, though Heyman wonders why the Mariners didn’t block their divisional and wild card rivals by putting a waiver claim on Fiers themselves. The A’s were already known to have interest in Fiers prior to the trade deadline, and since Seattle was behind Oakland in the standings when Fiers was on waivers, the M’s had first dibs on claiming the right-hander. Heyman wonders if the Mariners simply weren’t interested in Fiers actually ending up on their roster, if Detroit had let the claim stand in order to get his remaining salary off their payroll. Of course, an extra arm might look pretty good to the Mariners right about now, given how the team is without a stable fifth starter now that Felix Hernandez is out of the rotation."

He will own the M's line up! Watch!

 

[Duders]

He will own the M's line up! Watch!

I wouldn't be at all surprised. If he is their closer, we'll probably see the arrows flying.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Wouldn't surprise me one bit

Oakland? Here they come and there they go. Unreal how they put together a come back team and now are poised to take the division lead. I guess that's what happens when your organization is serious about having a winning team and goes out there and gets the players to make it happen. Too bad the M's organization didn't put out the effort this season to get the starters we so desperately needed. We might have been the ones on top of our division.

This is the first time ever someone has said Oakland ownership is serious about having a winning team.

I know, it sounds crazy but look what's happening. Check the moves they have made- doesn't make sense but they're making a serious run in our division. Who knew??

 

[SeattleCoug]

How incredibly unsurprising
