[darrylgann]

A's win the pennant. That is all

Hope they lose it in seven with a come from behind terrible lose in game six.

Damn it Les it's done:

@Ken_Rosenthal: DEAL IS DONE: #Cubs send Samardzija and Hammel to #Athletics for Addison Russell, per sources. May be other players and team(s) involved.

We need to wake up the rest of this Board!!! Hey Romeo, Wastin, Rev, Terp, Justin, Donaldson, et al....BIG TRADE INVOLVING A's!!!

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

@JimBowdenESPNxm: Billy Beane has never been afraid of trading best players or best prospects...Best team in AL just got way better for 2014

I'm really interested to see this deal...especially after the Cubbies took us to the cleaners last year...

This is so not like the A's. But they are one of the favorites now, I suppose. And 10 more years in that stadium? Yuck.

They're all in and going for the Series, this proves it. As of right now, I say they're in. Then I pray I'm wrong.

As if the season couldn't have been any worse. Now we'll likely get to watch that. The next hope is, they lose it.
Nearly every bit of this season has been a nightmare. We lost a complete season with an incredible pitcher.
Oh and just for kicks, the A's walk off on a freaking error.

Where is Donaldson? Thought he'd be here throughout.

We lose here, I'm sure

Yeh, the usually dependable Frasor is shaky again tonight....that Campbell again, good god...and we just lost...

 

[darrylgann]

Told you so. This team is crap. Win Houston, just win.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Told you so. This team is crap. Win Houston, just win.

There is absolutely nobody in the bullpen we can trust any more...and Soria will now be sitting for his fifth straight game...

This is far better than what we got.

Boy, will that rub salt into JD's wounds.

Billy Boy is taking him to school.

It's a lot. We well get grades on this later, I'm sure.

You know, this is a huge risk for the A's - Samardzjia has no AL experience, and Hammel wasn't great for the O's...and they traded away their top two prospects and Straily's not bad...whew!

But it's the A's, and everything always seems to come up roses for them.

Rev and Romeo too.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

And we're down to Adam Rosales to save the day for us....yeh, that's going to happen...
