Calling it now, A's knock off both Yankees and Red Sox

[Chewbaccer]

And it will be hilarious.

 

[redseat]

well. with the Red Sox bullpen it isn't that far fetched

 

[navamind]

It'll also be hilarious if the Braves fail to make it past the NLDS... again.

Not really. We're playing with house money anyways and have no real WS expectations. We're the worst team in the playoffs this year, and that includes both WC teams in both leagues.

Hoping the Rockies somehow pass the Dodgers. We'll be swept by the Dodgers.

I love the call and I hope it will be correct!

By the way, congratulations to your Braves for getting into the playoffs!

My Cardinals are still trying to get there.

Never bet against the Cardinals. It's the organization all non Yankees/Red Sox/Cubs/Dodgers clubs should strive to be. Haven't had to rebuild in forever, and draft and develop well, and even the off years aren't that bad.

 

[tducey]

Yeah, they're going to be good and a team to watch in October. Will be a tough team to get by for sure.

Thanks man! Even if we don't join you in the playoffs I'm very proud of our manager Mike Shildt who took over a team at the all star break that was going nowhere at only one game over .500 and he has put us back on the map.

you're obsessed with the yankees and red sox

Nah, I get annoyed at the general ignorance of their fans when it comes to the game when it doesn't involve their teams(like the Yankees fan that thought Max Scherzer was Matt Schurzer, or the Red Sox fan that thought Justin Verlander's resurgence was because he moved to the NL), and I enjoy it when they fail, but the only games I've watched involving the Yankees or Red Sox was when they played the Braves, and I'm a guy that will normally watch the nationally televised games when the Braves aren't playing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they beat they Yankees, because anything can happen in one-game. Especially in baseball! And especially with that good bullpen the A's have (yes, I know the Yanks have an equally good, if not better one as well). However, I would be surprised if they also beat the Red Sox. Not saying it can't happen, because favorites often don't win in baseball playoffs. But I would be surprised. That being said I would LOVE to see it happen!

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

They aren't beating the Red Sox

 

[CaptainStubing]

And it will be hilarious.

Agreed. It would be funny.

 

[nynasty]

Could definitely see them knock off the Yanks on either coast. They've been the better baseball team for a couple of months now, and 1 game is 1 game. Anything can happen.

They do not match up well against Boston's starting pitching in a 5 game series however.

The Red Sox bullpen is shaky at best and they seem to be in a little funk.
Hope they shake it off but as of this minute I am not confident they will.
As said before, time will tell.

Boston can't lose, it's their year......

Thanks, I needed that today

 

[SeattleCoug]

As good as the A's have been I gotta think the starting pitching hurts them in a series. I could easily see them beating the Yankees but not sure about the Red Sox

You might have just given the Red Sox their kiss of death!
