Huge series: A's/Angels

**onlooker** · 08-30-05, 01:18 AM

Again , the AL West lead is up for grabs in this series.

**MahJong** · 08-30-05, 01:29 AM

i like angels-----got swept by d-rays
a's--------won 5 in a row
one got swept and the other does the sweeping

**bigboydan** · 08-30-05, 03:44 AM

should be a fun series to watch thats for usre,

go A's

**jjgold** · 08-30-05, 05:52 AM

I like A's to win the series becaus ethey have better pitching. Oak got through their dry spell also.

Hitting well

**Pedro** · 08-30-05, 10:02 AM

I am going for the A's in the series and also to win the AL West.

Reasoning, you might ask?

Angels payroll: $97 mil (No. 4 among MLB teams)
A's payroll: $55 mil (No. 22 among MLB teams)

It's nice to a see a team that is not jam packed with super expensive players to do well.
Actually, I am hoping the A's make it far in the playoffs.

Good Bet Pedro

I would love to see Oak win it all, past winners shows you do not need lots of cash to win ws

JJ, you know i made the A's winning the west prediction, when they were 10 games back. so, you know how i feel about this team this year

btw, you know what i said about the yankees too

**why** · 08-30-05, 02:26 PM

Very exciting series, A's are smoking right now. I do believe the Angels will be up for the challenge, I like the Angels to take the series in a very competive series. But the divison winner will still probably come down to the last week, as will the wild card.

Great call with Oakland bbd, but you and 25,000,000 other people still didn't count out the Yankees.

**victorygallop** · 08-30-05, 02:56 PM

the timing is great for the yankees.

let them beat each other up, while their wild card lead grows.

It will be a great game TONIGHT.

A's are rolling gota keep riddin-em till we get knocked off right guy's!

**Illusion** · 08-30-05, 10:33 PM

1-0 A's through 6...another classic.

**bigboydan** · 08-30-05, 11:05 PM

1-1 in the 9th, gonna be a good series

**Razz** · 08-30-05, 11:09 PM

Colon has clinched the Cy Young tonight in my opinion, especially with the poor performance of Garland and Buerhle lately, and Halladay being out for year. 92 pitches through 9 innings. He's liable to pitch into extra innings if necessary.

**jjgold** · 08-31-05, 05:58 AM

I do not know who will beat oak in a 7 game series

They look like the champs

**bigboydan** · 08-31-05, 01:02 PM

JJ, we know the white sox can't beat oakland in a 3 games series. so, if they end up with the wildcard at all. the white sox are all but done.

**jjgold** · 08-31-05, 01:19 PM
