Coco Crisp overrules the umpire

[Lou]

I was so mad when we lost Game 163 that year. I could hardly watch the rest of that ALDS.

ALDS?

[19HALO71]

I literally LOL'd.

Thanks, I needed that.

American League Division Series

[Inside Pitch]

What exactly did he do wrong?

 

Far as I can tell, he plays for the A's and they won the game.   The usual sin.

[Lou]

American League Division Series

Ummmm yeah I know. But in 2002 there was no ALDS.

The season ended after game 163.

[Stradling]

Oh shit, my bad. It makes me hate Brad Pitt that much more.

[Inside Pitch]

I put our odds at 50/50

 

Sure you do.   At least until the Angels' SP throws ball one and then its 95/5 they lose.

Oakland's season ended in Game 167 that year.

We won't be in a one game playoff this year

can I get your autograph mr pujols?

I've seen a lot of plays at the plate where you can clearly see Norris blocking the plate with his leg but it's never been enforced. These umpires are pretty inconsistent when it comes to the new rule. 

[Taylor]

Come on guys.

We know how this ends.  Year in and out, Oakland racks up the wins during the regular season.  Then, crap the bed in the postseason with quick exits.

 

If the A's make the playoffs and the Angels don't, I will be rooting for them all the way. Yes, it's fun to harp on the A's lack of success in October, but they are seriously a fun baseball team to watch, and they are successful with mostly homegrown players.

I'm thinking of guys on the current roster who were drafted by the A's.

 

Sonny Gray

Sean Doolittle

I guess Cespedes counts.

 

Griffin is out for the year

 

Straily is on the Rivercats

Barton is on the Rivercats

 

There really isn't that many!

Ya the A's aren't a homegrown team. Common misconception though

[ten ocho recon scout]

I know its blasphemy, but I too would pull for oakland if we dont make the playoffs. Rivals yes, but I respect how they do things.

Now, being that were still competing, I hope and pray that sll get west nile virus and literally shit the bed in the second half

[CaliAngel]

I've never had a problem with Oakland.

 

They play in a shit stadium, they've always gotten guys that have great swings, they know good pitching, they work with what they have, and their unis are sick.

 

Kinda hard for me to hate on them. They just know how to play ball.

[Splint7438]

I still haven't seen a replay that shows he was safe instead of out. Nothing definitive anyway. I guess they are using the "fill in the gap" cam.

[Hollyw00d]

I can't believe how many oakland fans we have on this board

Who would you pull for in a Bay Bridge Series rematch?

[Lou]

It would depend on who the opponent is.

If it's ever boston, ny, texas, cws, detroit or seattle.... then I'd pull for the A's.

Any other AL team then I hope the get swept.

[Lou]

Bay Bridge series would be easy.

Giants in a sweep.

I don't think I have to ask what your opinion would be about an A's Dodgers series.

He's hoping a meteor hits the stadium.

 

That's what I would be hoping for if there is ever a Dodgers/Red Sox World Series. I just gave myself an ulcer typing that.
