But that would bring back some pretty decent childhood memories for me.

Yes, I hated them both back then too, but they had a couple of pretty good WS.

Looks like we're all for an A's vs Nats WS.

There sure isn't much of a pennant race in any of the playoff spots in the AL. Three teams were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs by the end of August. Another 4 teams have already been eliminated. Of the 8 teams left, 3 have a good hold on their division (although the Twins are a bit shaky, with the Indians just 5 games back, with 17 left to play). Only the Wild Card spots have any kind of race. The Indians sit a half game back of the A's, with the Rays just above them by less than 2 games. The Red Sox and Rangers are still technically in the WC hunt but don't look good.

I had a hard time deciding how to root for in the AL Wild Card game. Mildly disappointed that the A's didn't win but I really like the Rays' team.
Here's to a Twins-Rays ALCS with the Rays advancing to the Wild Series.

Twins yes, Rays no.

Astros are the only team that can beat both the spankees and the bodgers.

And if worse comes to worse and we've got a NYY vs LAD WS imma root for the spanks.
