Well I guess that's easy to believe...because it was the THIRD inning when it was 12-2 the fansprobably felt like they had just sat down, ya know?

...No one would've leftthat early.

The fans that stayed got to view something historic

Including the ushers.

Was it a bad call at the end? Yes. but the Twins shouldn't have let that call decide the game anyway.

Still got drummers, but they don't come as often. Alot of them just went seperate ways. I started drumming a bit in Right Field, but I would rather justwatch the game. Another dude that sits with the regulars in my section is being off and on about drumming. I would rather focus on the game honestly.

Who cares about the ending twins should have never been down in the first place. Oh well still got my Phillies

And if there's any Giants fans that are trying to hate on our moment let me shut you down by saying 1986. I don't even hate your team and I can easily put you in check. Check the numbers.

1986?

thats what im saying.

Duke dont even know what year it is. I hate whenpeople try to talk about things that happened 20 years ago when they have no relevance to now. That goes for us Niner fans as well

 

[darko for mvp]

Yeah sue me, meant to say 1989. Typos happen.

But anyways, the reason why A's fans bring it up is because of the fact that we swept you guys in the World Series. The goal for any franchise is to win achampionship, which is what the Giants have not done yet in San Francisco. Like I said, I'm not a "Giants Hater". And dont lie, if you swept usin 89, you would be talking about it just as much as we do.

 

[stringer bell 32]

tied ball game y'all

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Oh man, I hated the Twins back when we used to be good.

Now... I just don't like the Twins

Good ballclub, though, no doubt.

 

[stringer bell 32]

Orlando got no kind of arm

He's still my guy though

Yeah, about that...

[651akathepaul]

Thanks R.A. for backing me up.

 

[lb510]

The Oakland A's pouring it on

 

[GreenNGold89]

Why can't we save some runs for tomorrow?

Anyways, Holliday seems to be getting hot now after returning to his old swing. It took you this *%*$@%@long to change? Shoulda changed after that %!@**# April.

I wonder if anyone will offer up some prospects now. Also, Orlando Cabrera has a .382 avg in July,wonder if anyone would take him too. Interesting week ahead of us...

I'm having a hard time taking this from an A's fan when Oakland has been cool with squeaking into the playoffs and fizzling out in the first round overthe last decade.

"squeaking" in? its baseball where only 4 teams make the playoffs in each league so there are many times where you only get in by agame or two above the second place team. its not basketball where 16 teams make the playoffs

 

[rbeezy32]

Going to be a very interesting week ahead for our A's. Holliday, O-Cab, Wuertz, all of them could be with a new team by the end of next week. As long asthey bring us back a decent haul, I'm good. To bad Duke wasn't healthy, we should've moved him last year when we had the chance.

Out of everything I wrote, that's what you're contesting? That doesn't even address the whole"not good enough to win it all, just good enough for the playoffs" thing I was getting at, since, you know, "it's all about winning thechampionship".

I actually don't like your bit about 'fizzling' out of the playoffs, Bastitch.

Each time they went into the playoffs earlier this decade the A's forced their first round matches into the final game, hardly what I'd call'fizzling.'

If you want to call it a meltdown, that would be different. Not something I'd necessarily agree with, but can't be defended too well, either/
