Amazing that the A's beat out the Rangers and Angels. It had seemed like a foregone conclusion that the Rangers would win the division. I read that they led the division for 178 of 180 days.

Shocked? Yes.

6 runs against Kershaw. Don't think so.

A victory would be sweet, though.

Just for good measure, let's beat those hapless bums one more time.

I heard someone say that only the 1951 Yankees and the 2005 Twins and the 2012 A's are the only teams to win the division, and led the division only one day out of the season.

Just remarkable. Earlier in the season, it looked like the Rangers would run away with this thing and win over 100 games. That's why they play 162, I guess. Part of it is a collapse by the Rangers, but the bigger part is that the A's just played their butts off. They won something like 67 of their last 100 games.

Don't think Hensley is coming to the post-season.

 

[SFGRTB]

Kemp in series, 0-10 with 7 K's.

lol

Don't think Hensley is coming to the post-season.

I hope (and expect) Kontos is

 

[SFGRTB]

Good tune-up from Volgy.

Good tune-up from Volgy.

3 in a row! Kind of a shame if he doesn't make the playoff rotation...

Was that someone TitoMac?

The 2005 Twins finished 16 back.

That's the kind of momentum that could mean that team full of teenagers might win the whole damn thing. That would be too much.

It would be kinda cool to face them in the WS though, and get revenge for 1989

Could have been the 2006 Twins. I was going from memory.

Would've been cool to see Huff homer there. That was probably his final AB in the bigs (regular season that is).

 

[MarcoPolo]

I can only say that I hope that the Cards lose today, simply so that Dodger fans and players will have in their mind, all winter long, "If it wasn't for the fucking Giants, we would have made the post-season".

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
