Personally, I would post more than a random gif if I wanted to talk baseball. It's ambiguous at best.

Agreed, but to jump on him about the Ducks seems pretty stupid,

he was also an A's fan posting in a thread titled "The Oakland A's," quite a leap there, I could see how you missed that

No I dont. Tampa and Boston are likely to both get in unfortunately IMO with who another who knows edging out the West #2

I know Oakland and Texas have a pretty good divisional rivalry going on. But if Texas passes Oakland I am rooting for the Rangers thats for sure.

I cant stand the Angels. WOuld never root for them Lovin that the Seattle flippin Mariners are a game in the win column ahead of em. Crack me up.

SO what I am saying is I am not nutswinging on the AL West. But I am so ready for Oakland or Texas to take the next step. Texas has been way too close to not get one. Oakland fails in the playoffs against Detroit the last couple of times.

Time for a change and a WS in the AL West. Anyone not named Los Angeles Angels of Rancho Cucamonga
Boston, Tampa, Oakland, and Texas can all make it...

No doubt the Sox and Rays both get in. I'm hoping Sox win the division. The Sox/Rays would of gotten the WC this year and wouldn't have to play a 1 game playoff for it. Dam new rules.

Eh, I hate the ducks and I let my rage fly, because I know I don't have to answer for it. It's the internet.

If Texas gets it this year it will be because they are the team of destiny. The pitching and defense is there, but the offense comes and goes. They'll have to be getting timely hits and out pitching their opponents in the playoffs. The offense can be good enough, but its nothing like the offenses we're used to having. But the playoffs are all about pitching and getting hot at the right time, and Texas has the pitching.

Ultimately, I feel only one team from the AL Central will be in the playoffs. It could be the Tigers or the Indians, but more than likely will be the Tigers, because when in doubt I will take pitching.

Well honestly I hope the A's don't make it, because duh I never want them to win anything. We shall see in 50 games though.

Your father, while misguided about the Cards, is my kind of sports fan. Cheers to him.


Thanks Rev, appreciate that. He's a great Baseball man and a good fan in general...spot on.

(not that I can take credit for him, it's supposed to work the other way around... ha)

The A's payroll is paltry and yet they put out a winner sometimes. I can respect that. May not like them, but I'd take them just about any day over the Angels. I have great disdain for the Halos. Basically been Yankeeing themselves for the better part of a decade, overspending and acting like all that. Really really despise the Angels. And you can bet the Texas Rangers are enemy#1 to Arte Moreno.

Moreno is his own worst enemy. He doesn't understand you have to build from within. I am gonna laugh my ass off if blows his chances with Trout, but spending all this money on aging talent.

And if they do I really hope the rangers are there to swoop in. That would be amazing.

Yes, fuck the angels. Fuck the a's too though.
