They wont....the NL West and AL West representatives are the weakest links this year...Mets,Twins & Yankees look the strongest....

Just think....if the A's & M's reversed records against eachother this year....the M's would be atop the AL West and the A's would be the bottom feeders..

Youre welcome A's....we single handedly GAVE you the title and a October run....

Yeah, cuz the Mariners threw all those games, right?

The Angels or Rangers could have done just as well as the A's against that garbage ass team, but they couldn't get it done.

You know there's only like four guys still around from those teams, right? What does the past few years have anything to do with anything?

The Mariners won 116 games once in the last few years... Doesn't say much about them now though.

By the way, the A's went 6-3 against the Yankees this season, including a sweep at Yankee stadium, and this happened in the first half when the A's were playing MUCH worse.

THey suck too...the whole AL West sucks...big freakin deal!

Nothing.Who said they were?

Where did i say it did?LOL....are you trying to throw shit thats not there back in my face?I know the M's suck...

Good for them...do they want a cookie?A gold star maybe?

This is the playoffs my man...the Yankees have gone damn near .500 in the regluar season and turned onthe jets in the playoffs....YOU of all people should know that...

Point of this is...the M's suck...theyve sucked for 3 straight years...

The other point is...the A's wont get out of the 1st round...dont get mad...the truth hurts!

Yes I do... And if you do as well, you should know that the Mariners didn't GIVE anybody anything.

You do know the AL West has the best winning percentage baseball, right?

AL East: 390-396 (6 games under .500)
AL Central: 408-378 (30 games over .500)
AL West: 331-299 (32 games over .500)

NL East: 397-408 (11 games under .500)
NL Central: 439-503 (64 games under .500)
NL West: 392-393 (1 game under .500)

Only two teams (outside of the AL West) have winning records against the AL West, the Yankees (18-17) and the Tigers (19-17.) Those two teams are 1 & 2 games over .500 against the West. The whole AL West sucks? Really?

Nothing.Who said they were?

Where did i say it did?LOL....are you trying to throw shit thats not there back in my face?I know the M's suck...
You're bringing up that the A's got knocked out of the playoffs in recent years, what does that have to do with anything? I brought up the M's 116 game season to make that point... The point is that nothing that's happened in recent years has anything to do with anything that's happening now.

Good for them...do they want a cookie?A gold star maybe?

The last time the Yankees turned it on for the playoffs was 2003.

If the Yankees are your pick they're your pick, nothing wrong with that... But the reasons you're posting don't make much sense to me.

if a's play twins got no chance. once the a's win a round i give them credit. the last playoff series in 2003, up 2-0 on boston and lose in 5 games. and if my memory is right the a's had a 2-0 lead against the yankees a years before that.

and serious question to a's fans. do u think your team is any better than other previous playoffs teams? i think the htting is better this year with frank thomas and swisher than last year but dont about in 2003 and pitching is definately not as good as in 2003 but still very good .

Playoff pitching might be better if the starters stay healthy... 2003 is the year Hudson came out of the game in the first inning in Game 4...

The bullpen is better now... The bullpen lost the first two games to take that series from 2-0 to 2-2...

In a sense...yes they did....maybe not on PURPOSE...but if it werent for 16 wins from us....the division would have been all bumbled up...


You do know the AL West has the best winning percentage baseball, right?
You have 4 teams that are in it yes...they are COMPTETTIVE....


AL Central: 408-378 (30 games over .500)
And this is only cus the KC Royals are there....otherwise you have 2 teams with 90 wins....one with 87 and another with damn near 80...thats insane!

Yes.


You're bringing up that the A's got knocked out of the playoffs in recent years, what does that have to do with anything?
Well lests see....considereing that it is PLAYOFF time...and the A's are going to the PLAYOFFS...

I brought up the M's 116 game season to make that point... The point is that nothing that's happened in recent years has anything to do with anything that's happening now.
The topic of this thread...is about the A's magic number to get into the playoffs...so why did you bring up the M's 116 games?They arent in the playoffs...the A's are...


The last time the Yankees turned it on for the playoffs was 2003.
And they get a cookie.But 26 World Championships makes the percentage of them making it to the WS and WINNING....higher than anyone in baseball by ions....

If the Yankees are your pick they're your pick, nothing wrong with that... But the reasons you're posting don't make much sense to me.
The fact that the A's needed to win one game...that happened in Seattle...the A's are 16-2 against them this year...i just stated that if it werent for us...it would be ALOT closer in the AL West...

Dont get so sensitive....its a baseball team neither you nor I have any business or professional ties to...we are FANS...loosen the fuck up for Christ Sakes....
