Uh oh...here come the A's

IMHO, we couldn't have a tougher draw in the playoffs that the A's.

They are as hot as one of those little Chinese red peppers.

You can look at the AL West race as a monumental collapse by the Rangers (possible) or an incredible run by the A's. They were 13 games behind the Rangers at the end of June.

Sure, give Inge some credit, but these guys have put together incredible pitching, clutch hitting and some speed. It's a new kind of "small ball" with relatively low batting averages, lots of pitching and lots of homeruns.

Good news will be that they we have some good pitching of our own, and (now this is backward thinking) they are on a lengthy streak, having just swept the Rangers. The streak must end sooner of later, hopefully sooner.  

ESPN interviews Brandon Inge

Just got done watching ESPN interview Inge.  He is not on playoff roster due to shoulder surgery.  ESPN says Inge is the catalyst that broke the A's out of their slump.  Inge compliments Bob Melvin.  He says it is a loose club with a bunch of "goof balls"  Lots of compliments for inge and he will even be a factor from the bench with his experience and his looseness.  Go Oakland, except when they play the Tigs.

Triple crown for Miggy

So far he is 2 for 2 tonight.  I hope he gets it what a phenomenal accomplishment that would be.  Most worried about Josh Hamilton in the home run department.  Maybe they will sit Hamilton.  Get Hamilton ready to lose to the Tigers in the playoffs.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

Tigers clinch a tie!!!

Sit back and enjoy.  We are tied and proud of it.  Naysayers will talk about how weak our division is.  Who cares???
Gotta love it!!

The Magic Number is now 3

Can't get cocky yet (look at what the Sox have been through in the last week), but it is looking good for us. 
It appears that the Orioles and Oakland will be the wild card teams - I am really excited for those teams.
Enjoy your day.

Remember to make some time to Prasie God!!

Your first place Detoit Tigers

This thing is a nail biter.  Too much drama for this Polack.  I still feel great and look for great things to happen in the next five days.  Cal Ripken just said the Tigers are the one team he wouldn't want to play in the playoffs.
Go Get 'Em Boys.
MVP for Miggy - he needs to lead and burn them up!!
