Damn it. This is the year.

A's over Mets in 6

8/30/2006 4:24:55 PM

nah, probably not

8/30/2006 4:27:08 PM

more like A's sweep everyone thru the playoffs on their way to being World Series Champs.

8/30/2006 4:27:20 PM

im pretty sure the WS champ will be one of 3 teams from the AL Central

8/30/2006 4:51:32 PM

As an A's fan I want you to be right. But I am not getting my hopes up too hight after all of our implosions in the past few years in the playoffs.

8/30/2006 6:11:50 PM

I'm an A's fan too.


But this is ridiculous.


I know the Tigers are slumping a bit but even if they get by them there's no way they beat the Yanks or Whitesox in the ALCS...

The A's can't hit and their pitching is nothing special...

8/30/2006 6:27:23 PM

wouldn't it be sweet if the big hurt hit a walk off to beat the white sox in the playoffs

8/30/2006 9:30:05 PM

that'd be specccial.

8/30/2006 9:34:04 PM

hope that shit goes 450ft then he knocks AJ's ass to the ground when he crosses homeplate

8/30/2006 9:34:59 PM

bump, another A's victory


OAKTOWN

9/2/2006 1:13:27 AM

I'm going to the game Sunday.

9/2/2006 1:16:41 AM

damn, pretty cool. wish i could get to a game. have fun man

A's - Met's world series

9/2/2006 1:22:23 AM

9/2/2006 1:23:36 AM

A's over the METS in 6 games. I stand beside it. OAKTOWN

your bats were on fire today

9/13/2006 4:45:49 PM

beat the twins

/argument

9/13/2006 4:47:28 PM

if it hadn't been for last night and Kennedy breaking down, would have been 2/3 in the dome where Minnesota plays well. Too bas Liriano is going back on the shelf after 2+ innings today

9/13/2006 5:36:06 PM

congratulations you beat the twins

doesnt mean you'll win a playoff series

9/13/2006 5:58:17 PM

it's football season

i thought you were talking about a linebacker

9/14/2006 3:23:19 AM

it's baseball season in my book. football has started but doesn't mean shit for several more weeks. And by the way, there's nothing about Oakland Raiders football that deserves a post on TWW.

Anyone know when/if Rich Harden is coming back?

[Edited on September 14, 2006 at 10:00 AM. Reason : g]

9/14/2006 9:59:46 AM

I read in the paper today he threw a 30 pitch side session and will throw a 60 pitch simulated game early next week. Says he has better control on his slider then he has at any point in his career and is just trying to stretch out his arm so he can be sure he can pitch in the rotation again.

If not, he'll be in the pen...

** I'm pulling for the A's so I can get cheap Mets world series tix!

[Edited on September 14, 2006 at 11:27 AM. Reason : x]

9/14/2006 11:27:16 AM

From what I read he is probably going to be a reliever when he comes back. Wish he could actually play half a season.

9/14/2006 12:25:32 PM

Who cares about baseball?

9/14/2006 2:33:08 PM

The entire populations of the US cities that actually matter to the world?

9/14/2006 2:44:16 PM

haha nice nym

9/14/2006 2:56:33 PM

Another day, another W.

See you in October bitches

9/22/2006 1:42:55 AM

heh it's a good thing you qualified with MLB back in august, because man would we be confused right now

9/22/2006 1:51:47 AM

OAKTOWN, another night... another W

9/23/2006 9:11:29 AM

nice win, clinching the West tonight would be nice, and Rich Harden gets healthier with each passing day for October.

9/23/2006 9:47:26 AM

Wow, does Harden look good. They are going to be a real tough out come playoffs.

About to clinch the West tonight.. I hope they make the World Series.. then lose.

9/27/2006 12:27:43 AM

harden throws pretty damn hard

i definitely wouldn't be surprised if they came outta the AL

/backpedal

Zito, Haren, Harden, and Loaiza/Blanton looks nice to me for the playoffs, if everyone is healthy which has been a problem for Oakland. Anyone watch the postgame, The big hurt looked pretty happy and also mentioned he'd never been around a clubhouse as laid back with zero problems over the course of a season.

9/27/2006 9:48:44 AM

I am glad they finally clinched last night, they were starting to scare me. I think Harden, Zito, and Loaiza should be good for the playoffs, but I am a little worried about Haren and Blanton. They haven't been pitching that well right now.

9/27/2006 12:34:52 PM

i keep glancing at this thread as:

"This is Oakland's year (NFL)" and rofling

9/27/2006 12:39:31 PM

i disagree, cause im allowed to


go detroit

9/27/2006 1:00:35 PM

I'd much rather get Detroit in the first round over Minnesota or the Yanks, here's to Detroit holding off Minnesota

9/28/2006 1:54:55 PM

Oakland up 1-0 after a 3-2 win @ Minnesota

Zito 1-0
Street 1 save
Big Hurt 1 HR

10/3/2006 8:05:17 PM

Umm Big Hurt hit TWO homeruns.

But great game by the As. I was shocked.

10/3/2006 8:30:16 PM

damn, i missed most of the game because of friggin lab and haven't caught many highlights since i just got home from work. thanks

10/3/2006 9:06:31 PM

The Big Hurt is so amazing. I would do whatever he wanted.

10/3/2006 11:24:05 PM

no it isnt

10/3/2006 11:56:11 PM

Frank was 8 feet from 3 jacks, and almost got thrown out at first from a single to right...

10/4/2006 1:48:14 AM

20mins til Game 2.

LET'S GO A's!

10/4/2006 12:40:48 PM

I'm rooting for the A's cause I dont want the yankees to have to face Santana....but the A's had the yankees number this year, winning 6 of 9 games. However a few of those were in April when the yankees were off to a slow start.

10/4/2006 12:47:57 PM

"Let's go home and do this shit"

A's lead Minnesota 2-0 in the ALDS. Game 3 is Friday in Oakland.

10/4/2006 4:14:49 PM

Come on A's!!! Break your string of 4 straight losses in game 5 by going ahead and winning in 3.

10/5/2006 12:03:37 AM

minnesota is finished, they have very mediocre pitching for 3 nd 4, in which Oakland has Haren and Harden.

10/5/2006 12:09:21 AM

Yeah! Going to Game 3 this afternoon. 1pm start. First baseball playoff game since '99 I've been to..

[Edited on October 6, 2006 at 10:50 AM. Reason : just got comp tix]

10/6/2006 10:49:54 AM

eh, decided not to go... too much hassle for today.
