Either this is a jinx thread or that might have been THE squarest writeup I've ever come across.

Coco is awesome! cespedes is a beast. moss, reddick, smith, donaldson can all rake any given day.. A's starting a freaking stud themselves against a deteriorating ace...tigers pen is shit and their time has passed..rip tigers

Big Bear · 10-10-13, 03:45 PM

thank you for making this thread.

Brock,

make a rubber bander on Tigers please

KiDBaZkiT · 10-10-13, 03:52 PM

Miggy, uncheck. Dude is maybe 70% right now and that's no seceret. Look at that line, they couldn't make you feel more comfortable taking Tigers.

72'RoseBowlChamp · 10-10-13, 04:02 PM

FADE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU??? How are the As scrubs?? Hope they win so you LOOSE dude! BATS 4 days!

72'RoseBowlChamp · 10-10-13, 04:04 PM

Fielder, Miggy, & Martinez????? That's it??? The As have at least 6 or 7 bats just as good in their lineup! You know nothing about this game!

jessetk313 · 10-10-13, 04:20 PM

Marlon Byrd plays for the Pirates BTW

MagicDiceFlow · 10-10-13, 04:40 PM

OP is a square as hell bettor and must not have been watching the A's this whole season. The reason why you've never heard of the A's lineup is because you're like every other square bettor that just pays attention to what's on yahoo or ESPN at night. BTW, Donaldson is an MVP candidate and Crisp is one the best outfielders defensively and leadoff hitters this year. Not to mention Athletics are one of the best home teams in baseball and especially more in the playoffs .

Tigers may win but to say Oakland is a rollover is idiotic.

Verlander on the mound, easily one of the greatest pitchers in history - check.
Fielder - check.
Miggy - check.
Martinez - check.

Folks - this game is going to be an embarrassing blowout for Oakland at home, who will be reminded of why, with their crap amount of money, they're starting players like Marlon Byrd and Coco Crisp. "Rick Vaughn? Willie Hays? I never heard of most of these guys. Mitchell Friedman?!?" Those are your big names that are going to get it done? No way. Verlander sticks it up the A's ass tonight and the Detriot bats put at least 7 on the board by themselves - they won't be duped by this scrub that the A's have on the mound twice.

4 units Tigers even
4 units Tigers -1.5 +175
4 units over 6.5

Marlon Byrd an Athletic ......you're an idiot.

What an awful thread.

Please tell me you aren't a Tiger fan.

So if the Tigers win 3-2 you would be correct and still lose over 4 units. #Genious

This is hilarious.

Marlon Byrd bro...

Tigers should win this game however gentlemen.

Tigers are a Crisp away from being a truly elite team, regardless of their bullpen woes.

This game is an absolute coinflip and I would give a slight edge to Oakland due to the home crowd. I see a lot of guys talking about pitching/hitting matchups but what they're forgetting is the edge Oakland will get with that raucous home crowd on an elimination game. It will give them an edge tonight. This A's team feeds off the crowd's energy and is a totally different team at home. They hit like an all star lineup at the Coliseum.

When your leadoff hitter has 22 home runs (in a pitcher's dominated season), it's hard for your team not to be good.

i have a oak+150 series ticket,, if i was smart would have took little bit of det when they were down 2-1, not that smart tho, riding it out..

Csimmswin · 10-10-13, 05:07 PM

Dude really?? You're calling the A's a bunch of scrubs? This thread makes me laugh. There is a reason that the game tonight is in Oakland... They won more games than the Tigers this year. The A's are very scrappy. Frankly, I have it the exact opposite... A's winning a low score game. good luck bro

To address everyone:

1. I worded the Marlon Byrd thing wrong. I know he plays for PIT. My point was that scrubs like him are the best the Oakland has. Felt the same way about Byrd with PIT. Was going to draw this comparison, but worded it wrong, etc. So, sorry, but I know that Marlon Byrd isn't on the A's - lol.

2. The A's are scrubs. It's that simple. They're not big time ball players.

3. I KNOW that Miggy is 70%. Didn't stop him from getting on base last game and starting a rally - correct?

It's not just Crisp's power, though. Tigers could really use his speed.

72'RoseBowlChamp · 10-10-13, 05:43 PM

I'll tell you why the As are going to win! There going to go in to the game tonight and grind this one out like they have all season. This team has way too many bats and power to go against them! These guys get on base all day! Lets face it what the Oakland As actually are is a perfect playoff team/story who I don't see ending there season tonight! Especially with one of the loudest stadiums in the MLB (Opened 10,000 extra seats up top which they usually just use for raider games) and a rookie pitcher who threw a gem on Saturday night , 8 innings pitched, 4 hits, 2 walks, 9 ks and 0 runs, and has only positive enormous amounts of confidence going in to this one with one main thing on his mind.... that he's gunna out pitch this former- Si young tonight and the red sox are waiting for As after this one... Not to mention verlander has pitched so poor this year not even being even close to mentioned in the AL si young running, he's not what he use to be and his record and era this season prove it. I won't even get into how much more solid the As bullpen is.... lol think this part is a no brainer!! There IPICKWINNERS.... you don't know shit about the As but you sure will learn something after this post season! Why is there even a game 5 if the As are all scrubs??? How'd these scrubs get this far and why isn't their season done yet???

So I guess Josh Donaldson is a scrub ?? .301 BA , 24 HR's, 93 rbi .....better than anyone else on the Tigers other than Cabrera.

Moss is a scrub also with 30 hrs?

I'll take those scrubs all day every day. The reason why you dont see them as big time ball players is because they dont get those overpaid contracts like the players on the Tigers. They actually perform for their money.

harthebar · 10-10-13, 06:07 PM

i pick winners..........have you checked the batting avc of tigers star hitters...its like 000 ...not really but close

i_pick_winners1 · 10-10-13, 06:43 PM

Oakland 0-5 all time in ALDS games.

R.P. McMurphy · 10-10-13, 07:07 PM

Good night this guy has zero clue bout Oakland. If you don't follow bases much and just know names from espn then I get it. Tigs have the names but you don't win b2b division titles and almost a 100 games in a season as bums fyi! Gl

which means exactly what pertaining to this gm? not shit that what, doesnt make them any more likely to win or lose this gm,, maybe losing to det in 5 last yr relevant (not really) but the rest were mostly against real teams, ie the yankees, not a bunch of choking dogs...
