Official Oakland Athletics 2012 Season Thread (94-68) AL WEST CHAMPIONS

Are the O's gonna lose a game!? And the Tigers just tied it 8-8. At least Tampa lost.

 

[captain charisma]

A's win, and the Tigers and Rays both lose.

Serious question, how are the O's playing so well? Just good over-all team play? There is no separating from them in the wildcard.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I would like to thank Chris Carter for providing the A's with some production at first base. It is very appreciated.

And damn, where would we be with Coco? I was so pissed we brought him back and I def. wanted him gone in May. My apologies.

When Inge comes back, would you guys move Donaldson to catcher?

And Weeks has done well in AAA (which he should be doing). I hope he has figured it out. A legit option at 2B would be HUGE.

Damn we suck.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Damn we suck.

But seriously what happened to the Indians? They were playing good baseball in the beginning of the year. I didn't think they would win the division but damn they look HORRIBLE.

 

[finallyfamous]

10-34 since the all star break :x

Lack of talent. Front office can't spend a dime.

All bad.

 

[johnson1]

damn we balling so hard right now

bring on the Sox

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

This has been a great season for the A's

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

So... can we do this to the Red Sox and Angels too?

 

[wearinthefourfive]

These guys are just destroying these chump teams. Need to keep piling on easy wins.

 

[eagle 0n]

Clapped up the BoSox tonight

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

GUNNED UP AND CLAPPED QUICK

 

[eagle 0n]

Inge done for the season

Inge done for the season

It's too bad, we're lucky Donaldson has found his groove and has been hitting well since he came up. Inge said he wants to stick around the club after his surgery to provide some morale. I love it, keep the good vibes coming.

 

[eagle 0n]

Agree.

Inge's leadership on the field and in the clubhouse has been crucial for the A's this season.

 

[johnson1]

well you can't win every freaking game I guess...

 

[wearinthefourfive]

I was at the game on Saturday night (AMAZING) as well as yesterday yesterday (TERRIBLE). I know Milone has been good (especially at home) for the most part this year, but I still have zero faith in him in clutch situations.


As of right now, my 4-man playoff rotation would be:


Anderson
McCarthy
Parker
Griffin

I love it. Keep Milone's USC punk-*** out of there.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Wake up fellas. We can't afford to lose this series.

 

[GreenNGold89]

****

 

[GreenNGold89]

Tomorrow is a MUST WIN. We can't afford to get swept by the Angels. Offense needs to wake the **** up. Hopefully McCarthy is on his A game, because we will need it.

 

[jesusshuttlesworth34]

Which team are A's fans viewing as the biggest competition to the Wild Card spots?

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Whoever comes in 2nd in that AL East, then whoever comes in 3rd in that AL East

 

[GreenNGold89]

That was about as bad a series we could have played. Getting swept at home, while the offense and bullpen looked like complete ****. And we got Felix on Friday. This is going to turn ugly fast if we don't wake up. Everyone knows how tough our schedule is the rest of the way, if this team wants into the playoffs, they'll have to earn it.

I hope McCarthy is ok also.

 

[eagle 0n]

I was at the game today, the McCarthy incident was pretty scary. I hope dude has a speedy recovery.

As for the game we played terribly, and my section had a bunch of bum Angel fans who basically clowned around the whole game
