Well then... it's all good. Last comment in the thread for me.

I am really enjoying watching the playoffs.  Wow... the O's are a scrappy group.  That was a great win vs the Yanks.  Just finished watching the pitching duel of the Giants vs Reds.  The Giants won to stay alive to live to Game #4.

Right now... I am watching the Tigers vs A's.  I predict the A's will win and force a Game #4.  The A's are a fun team to watch.

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the old Philadelphia Athletics.

A's and O's are the best stories this year, as Mikekoz has said.

I'm an indians fan myself. We are also small market, but we always seem to make plenty of bonehead moves when it comes to the front office, and we had an unbelievably bad 2nd half.

The yankees are absurd. Let's take a look at some numbers:
Yankees payroll: $197 million
Orioles: $81 million
A's: $55 million

If the O's pull it out, they will have knocked out a team that has more than double their payroll!!!

A's facing stiff competition in Justin Verlander tonight. I don't see them having any chance against the best pitcher in the AL. Also, I think the Cardinals with Lohse on the mound close out the Nationals.

Arod should give half his salary back to the Yanks he always chokes in the big games or when any game is on the line. But you can count on Arod hitting a home run or a 2 run double or something like that when the team is up by 5 runs or more and you can always count on Arod striking out with the tieing run on third with 2 outs.

And to think we traded Ibanez because he was to old.

What a hard fought series. Hats off to the Orioles for putting up a valiant effort.

Two former A's making up the Nationals battery (Gio and Suzuki). Two of my favorite former A's players. Go A's...I mean Nats.

The A's put up a good fight. Facing Verlander in those situations is always hard. Better luck next year. Will be fun watching CC and Verlander duel in the ALCS though.

The Tigers v Yankees series should be a great one. The Tigers have baseballs best hitter,and one of the best pitchers BUT............their relief pitching is suspect this season. Valverde has been like riding a roller coaster while having the ''runs''.
