on the other side, i can't see detroit being a factor in any way.
the yankees and angels are the best teams in baseball at the moment.
although i wouldn't rule out the white sox yet, as the do have the units to suprise and go all the way

Hey, wake up, it's not April anymore. A's 8.5 games over LA of Anaheim. Sweep BoSox. Best record in MLB since the All Star Game. 6-3 vs Yanks.

What more do you want to see?

Go A's. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Soon it will be the "San Jose A's of Fremont".

1st Inning: 9 Runs, 5 Singles, 2 Homers, a double, and a triple.

1st E Chavez reached on infield single to shortstop, J Kendall scored, M Ellis to third, J Payton to second. 1 1
1st D Johnson homered to right center, M Ellis, J Payton and E Chavez scored. 1 5
1st M Scutaro tripled to deep left center, N Swisher scored. 1 6
1st J Kendall singled to right center, M Scutaro scored. 1 7
1st M Ellis homered to left, J Kendall scored. 1 9

Loaiza allowed one run and eight hits to improve to 5-0 with a 1.19 ERA in his last six starts.

A's: gotta believe!

WabUfvot5 · 09-04-2006, 05:52 AM

The A's record of success speaks for itself. Loaiza is doing what he shoulda been doing the whole year. The hitters are getting healthy... and we're heading for the postseason

W.HI.P · 09-04-2006, 01:48 PM

lol, are you still going on about the a's.
you don't know when to stop.
you look pretty desperate, as does your team.
still a month to go, and the a's reamin the a's.
just watch anaheim play, they've already won the pennant.
you just haven't realized it yet.
look at it like this.....
you're about to run in a race with a little kid.
you obviously can't lose the race, so you let him get the head start.
just to make it a little interesting.
and just when the little kid feels like he might actually win it,
you start running.
you see, this race was finished before it started.
you're that little kid ahead just before the man behind you starts running.
you actually have hope, but soon reality will set in.

The ghost of Babe Ruth?

WabUfvot5 · 09-05-2006, 03:35 PM

LOL! I'm sure this is all part of of Scocia's master plan. Your optimism is admirable but lacks solid backing. Please provide me with evidence that the Angels are going to win the division. Just "watch them play" is poor evidence.

@ Bruce: what creature will Ruth inhabit next year to ruin the Red Sox season? 3-1 it's an insect. Or maybe they'll get better pitching.

W.HI.P · 09-05-2006, 07:37 PM

time is my evidence, it always has been.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-06-2006, 10:59 PM

Next year ruth will be a Gatorade jug.

WabUfvot5 · 09-07-2006, 05:14 AM

Heh, I thought he'd inhabit the stadium itself!

xoxoxoBruce · 09-16-2006, 07:48 PM

Naw, he'll make road trips, too.

As in "wait 'til next year". Where are those rally monkeys now?

Oakland magic number is 7 with 26 chances left. Seven games between the teams, but should be decided when Anaheim visits Oakland next weekend.

714: Go Ducks and take the Angels with you, No Doubt.

WabUfvot5 · 09-17-2006, 11:24 PM

Time is a cruel decider it seems. Or good if you're an Oakland fan

W.HI.P · 09-17-2006, 11:45 PM

the a's still suck, and wouldn't stand a chance even if they we're in the national league...my original prediction stands ...ny vs ny

W.HI.P · 09-17-2006, 11:51 PM

my original predictions in the cellar which were

Major league baseball predictions

NY Yankees Slugger 3rd baseman Alex Rodriguez is the key to the Yankees scoring this year. They may not have started the season so well, but i predict that they're the heavy favorites for winning the world series this season.

Mariano Rivera without a doubt is the greatest replacement pitchers in the game, here he's shaking hands with Catcher Posada which has had a few home-runs already this season.

The New York Mets would have to be my 2nd pick for this year.
Another NY-NY world series? The Mets are a great all round team.
Pitching more than anything, That's Delgado up there in the pic.

WabUfvot5 · 09-18-2006, 06:20 AM

The A's still suck? As I thought, just pointed favoritism masquerading as insight. I'll be the first to admit the A's will probably get nowhere in postseason but they far from suck.

As for Rodriguez he does lead NYY in RBI... but is it him or his place in the lineup? Probably some of each.

PS... I don't see any pics.
