What'd you say? Yea, that's what I thought...shut up

[Saber]

They were among 12 teams that were not good enough to even make it that far.

Lets add the best the National League had to offer getting swept, thus could not even win a game in the World Series.

joek couldn't have made that statement any better. Which is sad, because that statement is poorly worded.

and when was the last time spendball won something? And how bout your boys?

i'd consider the red sox last year as spend ball.

I just love all of the "true baseball fans" that have nothing better to do than to find something to attack the Yankees.

Did they lose to the RedSox in the ALCS last year? Yes. If your such of a knowledgable baseball fan, Saber, say it the way it is. Stop acting like a 8 year old kid. The Yankees did not have any solid starters and were lucky to win the first 3 games. With Schilling and Pedro then how Lowe pitched...big f-en mystery how they put it together and not won 4 in a row vs the Yankees but vs the Cardinals.

All you want to say is the biggest choke...but in a short series the RedSox should have beat the Yankees. I am not discounting a tremendous effort by Schilling but their bullpen was much better and Rivera was due vs the RedSox to have his clock cleaned. The Yankees did not have a starter they could count on like in the past with Pettitte or even Clemens.

Back to original point, Twins and A's were among 12 American League teams not good enough to make the ALCS. I guess the truth hurts if you think that is poorly worded.

that was last year; I was talking about this year

A's tie for Wild Card after sweeping Texas on the road

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/st...s/wildcard.jsp

How bout them A's, huh? Bet you little punks didn't see them coming... We're a year ahead of schedule, but you can all kiss my rump after writing the A's off...we're coming for your team next! And where's the mighty Taylor now? We just took 7 of 8 from your boys in the last week and a half! Now you're below .500 and more than 10 games back. boo yaaaaaaa

[Saber]

Hey RLA, I love how some Yankee fans make an AL West thread about themselves. Why don't you go invite joek back again?

As for the thread, let's wait until the race shakes out a bit more until we make grand pronouncements regarding the wild card?

[General]

Ugh..no, he doesnt mean it. Don't invite Joke back.

[Providence A's]

I never said the A's were going to win the Wild Card. I said we're tied for it right now and back in the race after everyone wrote us off.

I'm sure Joek is just too busy on "official" Yankee business

[Kingdom]

I enjoyed them losing to the Marlins more than the Redsox. Just cause one team had only a few dollars, while the other had a few billion dollars.

[Providence A's]

-A's leads the majors with 313 runs since May 30.
-A's are 40-14 in that span (also best in majors)
-A's are now only 2.5 behind the Angels
-A's lead the Yanks by 1.5 games for the Wild Card

And to all the Zito haters;

Zito went 6-0 with a 2.51 ERA in July. And is now 10 - 8 for the season with a 3.72 ERA.

[BuckFoston]

Congrats to the A's. I admit, I wrote them off at the beginning of the year, although I do want them to win and not the Angels...still bitter over 2002.

Your not the only one.

[Providence A's]

ML best 30 - 13 since the ASG

Just a reminder for all the haters
