Keep it rolling. Weaver will be tough but at least we got Brett on the mound.

I'm proud of us, guys. We're on the way.

I didn't get to see the game because I went to a concert (Silversun Pickups are great live btw ), but I just checked ESPN and

It still sucks because of the East Coast bias, the A's don't get the recognition that they deserve on the national scale.

 

[captain charisma]

Couldn't see the game today either, had to work, but it's okay that we lost. The A's went to Anaheim and took 3 out of 4. Of course, it would have been sweet to sweep them, but this was a huge series for both teams, and the A's came out the winner.

Rooting for you guys, man. With my Indians out of the race, I'm okay with the As, Os, and Tampa out of the AL. Although I still believe Texas makes yet another WS appearance. Don't care for the Yanks, CWS, or Tigers.

 

[captain charisma]

Creating separation between the A's and the O's; and we're getting closer to the Rangers, only two games out.

I was also at the game on Friday, and the atmosphere there is great. Always good to see a full stadium, and watching Storm Troopers do the Bernie.

 

[eagle 0n]

Probably my favorite A's team since the 2000 team.

2 games back. We got this

 

[captain charisma]

Got me some playoff tickets, Wildcard game + first two Division games.

Ohhh man, if they make it I might have to fly out from LA and see them. Hope those tickets don't sell out fast.

[captain charisma]

Oh dang...

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Dude, how many tickets are in this picture?

 

[ricerocket1]

wow at those tickets. didn't know they went on sale.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

I got tickets to the Wild Card game, that's the only one I'll be able to make it back to the bay for.

 

[GreenNGold89]

It's 10 tickets per game. Cousin bought them because we know a bunch of people that want to go.

I live out in Sac now and don't even know if I'm going to be able to attend any of the games due to work, but I'm going to try my best.

Is there a schedule out there for what days the WC games are going to be played? And the division series? Obviously they don't know who's going to be playing and where but do we know when the division series begins?

NVM found it here if anyone's interested

I'd be able to make the Wildcard game for sure. They aren't going to do day games right? Otherwise, I'm screwed. Can't miss work.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Really need a win today with Verlander on the mound tomorrow. Just got home from work, what happened to Scherzer?

 

[GreenNGold89]

Bad game. Griffin didn't look sharp and the offense left way too many runners on. I'm worried with Verlander on the mound tomorrow and not confident with Milone for the last game of the series.

5-2 last week was very impressive but we can't let up at all. We still have a huge battle in front of us to get into the playoffs.

 

[GreenNGold89]

****. Neither of our starting pitchers have been able to go deep into a game causing the bullpen to get worked. Not a good way to start of this road trip. And we don't have another off day this year. ****.
