    those A's are surging a little earlier than normal

    the A's have really heated up lately. looks like there gonna shine a little early this year, and not after there usual 2nd half spert.


    i doubt that they any where near there 20 game winnig streak they had a few years back, but there sure on one major roll right now.

    They very well could run away with that division.

    They are starting to hit more, and that leads to runs, which in part leads to wins. So if they keep hitting, they will keep winning.

    Do I sound like a ESPN expert yet?

    Nothing to back this up but I think they're gonna flatten out and possibly decline in late August. The funny part is that they could possibly leak oil in late August and September and still win the west because everybody is just so .500-ish. I certainly think the Angels are toast but the Mariners and Rangers I haven't given up on yet.

    They have a 9 game road trip coming up. Against Colorado, San Francisco, and San Diego. Yes its the NL, but I dont think they can win all those games.

    Would be nice to see another 20 game winning streak though.

    Considering they are one of the best teams recordwise in interleague history don't look for them to slow down anytime soon.

    with all the pitching problems they have had early. it's just rather suprising there surging they way they have right now too.
