Oakland A's

[MidgetTossers]

You may not know it, but you are an Oakland Athletics fan. You are an Athletics fan because you are a baseball fan, and being a baseball fan means you believe desire is worth more than payroll.
You believe where you sit on your couch influences the baseball gods.
You believe in next year like you believe in your next breath.
You believe you would play this game for nothing and so you believe in those who look like they really do.
You believe the best seats in the house come with peanut shells around your feet, not a moat, a members-only restaurant and a $15 glass of petite sirah.
You believe there is nothing else in this country but baseball that so strongly binds strangers -- nothing else quite brings people, especially families, out of doors to share not just rooting interest but also the priceless open space for conversation -- that major metropolitan areas shrink warmly into Rockwellian hamlets.
And so because you believe in these truths you must believe in the A's. They are all the best reasons why we live and die with this great game, all wrapped up in green and gold

Whats up MT, long time no see. Happy for your A's... I got them +1000 to win the series. Already had Yanks +600 before the season began. Hoping for a Yanks/A's ALCS that would guarantee a sweet hedge opportunity in the WS

[turbozed]

Go A's! I'll be at game 3 in the cheap seats with the peanuts on the ground like you mentioned lol

[MidgetTossers]

Whats up! yea its been an unreal season..like the bet and hope it cashes..oak needs to ride the momentum thru the playoffs..hate the fact that the top seeds start out on the road though..really dumb

[MidgetTossers]

[Chi_archie]

gotta root for the Athletics and their small Payroll

I was a kid when those A's Teams from the mid-70s were in the process of being busted up. The coolest uniforms, an All-Star at practically every position, every player rockin the facial hair looking like like 9 pirates on the diamond, the free spirit attitude.

A part of me will always root for that team - I still wear an A's Cap from time to time if it's handy.

[MidgetTossers]

lock city for your tigers

[Coolcanuck79]

Have the A's to win it all too! I'll definitely be rooting for them!

Rollie, Vida, and Catfish were my faves.

I was totally thinking about buying some cheap seats to the As game 3. Tickets are dirt cheap to the As game compared to the Giants game.! If I can find some buds im totally trekking over to witness and watch a part of this magical year they have put together. BATTLE of THE BAY! Believe in it!!!!!! BELIEVE IN IT!

[Al Masters]

I"m on the As to win the series...i feel they can do it.

[MUHerd37]

No need to bring Inge into this. We all know he's worthless. Strikeout after strikeout after strikeout. That's all we saw when he was with the Tigers.

[jjgold]

Oak will give Verlander trouble today

Team is scrappy

[paco]

Buh bye! Clock strikes midnight

[wtt0315]

Lots of a's fans, thats why they get 30 people to their games normally and they have to put a huge tarp up in the outfield to fill the seats.Oh and try not to get mug and killed on your way to the parking lot
