    Leet has a point, A's don't get lucky. They either destroy a team from the start or at some point win. They don't give up and last night was a perfect example. Yes they can slump, but what team doesn't.

    Ball don't lie.

    Fluke hitting caught up to this team once the natural regression kicked in.

    Would be laughable if this team didn't even make the playoffs.

    Beane/Moneyball = fraud. One playoff series win and counting. Still waiting, Billy.

    relax coinage they may still make the playoffs as a wild card.

    i doubt it though the Mariners bringing out the brooms for that sweep.

    They will make the playoffs unfortunately. They play the Rangers 7 times.

    Think your apparent hatred for Beane , Oak or both has your take a little cloudy. They been putting up big #'s scoring wise and leading the league or near the top in run differential past couple YEARS! Hard to sell that as just luck or a hot streak. A's been arguably the best and most exciting/consistent small market team in mlb to watch past decade +. So to each his own I guess.

    I think John Jaso could be a huge boost for them offensively in the #2 spot when the Doctor clears him to play which could be any day now.

    Yeah it was not just Cespedes trade had a couple bats on dl right around that time. This team is built around pitching first and foremost like Atl. And have had to overcome so many injured arms past couple years which is part of the reason they made the bold moves to bring in a couple more aces. When you take into account this is not a lineup designed to score much as they have the surge in runs has been a bonus and thru smart play and hustling. Won close to 300 games past few years hardly luck!

    They do get Doolittle back, and sounds like Jaso is on his way back soon. Their soft schedule should help a little, but don't forget this team just lost series to the Astros at home and the White Sox. I think Mariners take at least 2 out of 3. Paxton at -135 looks good today, but Mariners bats have been quiet.
