August 11, 200520 yr Jason Kendall on 3rd, Bobby Crosby on 1st, Eric Chavez at the plate with K-Rod pitching. Crosby steals 2nd, the ump calls a ball, K-Rod looks on in disbelief. As Bengie Molina tosses the ball back to K-Rod, the ball deflects off his mitt. Kendall dashes for home, and beats the throw for the A's win. Unbelievable. :headshake BTW, it was a 4-4 tie bottom of the 9th. Edited August 11, 200520 yr by ChiSoxFan
August 11, 200520 yr I was just about to post a thread on it, but rather just posted in the ATM pinned thread up top. The A's are in first. That's amazing (no pun intended). They were down 4-0, too, and Payton homered for a solo shot (he's been awesome), and then Chavez had a two out, three run blast. I can't wait to hear Bill Platschke talk about the A's. "Blah blah blah blah no heart, blah blah blah worse manager, blah blah blah no Steve Finley like 'proven winner'."
August 11, 200520 yr I think this is the most amazing line I've ever seen in gameday. "With Eric Chavez batting, Jason Kendall scores on defensive indifference. Bobby Crosby advances to 2nd on defensive indifference. Missed catch error by pitcher Francisco Rodriguez." I bet it took them 10 minutes to figure out how to write that.

August 11, 200520 yr Good, i'm rooting for Oakland. I'd MUCH rather see LA get the Wild Card.....we would definitely beat them IMO....and it would setup a showdown with Boston in the ALCS, who would beat Oakland since they never win in the 1st round anyways.

August 11, 200520 yr How about the A's just don't make the playoffs at all? God they are freaking ridiculous.

August 11, 200520 yr QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) That is an unrealistic proposition at this point unfortunately... They're 4 up for a playoff spot, it's not unrealistic at all....

I thought it was 6 or 7....ah well, it is just hard to imagine them not making it with the way they have played and the breaks they have gotten the last couple months. I really don't care what they do, I just don't want to see them in the first round, they scare the hell outta me.

I really don't care what they do, I just don't want to see them in the first round, they scare the hell outta me. Cleveland's been playing well also and they have a really easy schedule...and the Yankees probably won't go away either - they're 4 back of the Angels right now I believe. And as far as I can tell, Cleveland is currently 3 back of the Angels after the Halos lost today...pending the outcome of the Cleveland @ KC game tonight.
August 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) I'd rather play the Angels, but if we play Oakland, bring em on. If we can't beat Oakland in a playoff series...do we deserve to win the World Series?
August 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 01:18 AM) If we can't beat Oakland in a playoff series...do we deserve to win the World Series? But who would you rather face? Oakland or Anahiem? Zito/Harden/Haren or Colon/Lackey/Bird-Washburn?
August 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) If we can't beat Oakland in a playoff series...do we deserve to win the World Series? Nope. If this team is as good as we're all hoping it is, they'll beat whoever is put in front of them.

August 12, 200520 yr I want to face off with Oakland for sure. We have to beat the best to be the best. I want to face every challenege and make all the critics shut the f*** up.
August 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Nope. If this team is as good as we're all hoping it is, they'll beat whoever is put in front of them. That's true, but I think everyone here would rather play the Angels over the A's. You shut down Vlad and Anderson over a series, the Angels don't really have much firepower left in their lineup. And Lackey and Washburn would hardly worry you in a playoff series.

I'd rather play the Angels any day of the week. But i'm not gonna s*** my pants if we have to play Oakland, either.
August 12, 200520 yr Last Monday for adult softball I just had a play somewhat like that. I was at 2nd and there was a grounder to 3rd, since there was a runner at 1st, I had to run, he didn't tag me for some reason and then he was mad and threw the ball on the ground, no one was near the ball so I took off and ran home. Haha not completely like it, but it reminded me of it.
