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

[Chewbaccer]

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.

Are we supposed to pretend like David Price and Chris Sale don't have a history of falling apart in the playoffs?

Antibumgarners.

Are we really making an assumption that Sale falls apart in the playoffs based on 1 post season start ever? I don't like the Red Sox but hard to take you seriously when you make a claim about Sale falling apart in the playoffs when he literally made 1 playoffs start ever

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.

You shut your god damn dirty mouth! Cardinals suck!

He falls apart in September too. I mean honestly I don't see what other teams aren't seeing with the guy. Braves have roughed him up every time they've saw hom/

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 have generally found that Bosox, Yanks, and Cards fans tend to know baseball. I grew up a Cubbies fan and will freely admit that it is pretty common for them to not take a huge interest in the game as a whole. The Braves fans I have known have been football and basketball junkies at heart with baseball in general farther down their lists.

That said, the A's do concern me and I feel that neither the Yanks nor the Bosox are likely to play well in the Oakland Coliseum.

And it will be hilarious.

Would love it like I loves me a weekend camping trip

Sale is a bitch. He has the mentality of an anorexic coke infused fashion model

Ex. A
The White Sox suspended Chris Sale over MLB's silliest controversy

As opposed to the awesome track record of Mike Friers and Brett Anderson in the postseason

The A's have been a great story, we know how badly you would like the Yankees and Sox to lose, they have a 50/50 chance of knocking off the Yankees, the Red Sox will absolutely pummel that starting staff in a 5 game series

I own an As hat. But only because I love Highway to Heaven.

Thanks Dirt. I know it hurt to say that.


Yankees will win the play in game though so this is all moot.

We had a Red Sox fan claiming both JT Realmuto and Jacob deGrom would be Red Sox before August knowing good and damn well the Marlins asked for Ronald Acuna when the Braves asked for Realmuto. Dude didn't underdtand that teams won't give the Sox premium players because they're the Red Sox and didn't understand the Sox farm system situation.
