Who would have thunk it???? This team has been amazing since May 30. They all should give themselves a pat on the back. Hopefully they're readying for a 2nd half surge as in years past.

ESPN's bias continues to amaze me. They're making all this noise about the Astros DOING THE EXACT SAME THING THE A'S HAVE DONE, yet the A's get no love. I was watching SC last night and they talked about the A's/Sox game and they didn't even mention this impressive climb back to 1 game over .500. Not even the fact that we SWEPT the best team in baseball. Not the fact that we've OWNED the best team in baseball.

Pretty sad
