Guest Smues Report post Posted October 2, 2006 I hate you guys, I'll be at work all day and then have to take my car into the shop to miss the evening game. Anyway this series should be really good, and I can't decide who I want to win, so go either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted October 2, 2006 WHINING: Why can't they start games at 10pm EST instead of 1pm EST. And Go Twins. Sweep, so we can use Santana thrice if necessary vs. the Assholes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 As I expected the start times will prevent me from watching the first three games so hopefully it's not a sweep, unless it's the A's of course. Oh and the Tigers can suck my dick. Sadly I think it will be Twins in five and I just hope it doesn't involve the A's losing it some gut wrenching fashion. I just think they will need to get incredibly lucky to beat Johan Santana in the Metrodome which makes Games 2 thru 4 must wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devo 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 Got the day off Tuesday as well. It's hard for me to pick a team to cheer for in this series, as I like both squads very much. I do think the Twins are going to take it, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Annabelle 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 don't be quick to write off the a's. they've got the deepest staff in the league. the mere fact that they can decide between haren & harden in game three proves this. joe blanton is no slouch either. teams like the mets have trachsel & the yanks have cory lidle. seriously, people.

Bored 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 So from what I gathered from what Ken Macha said today: A) Rich Harden may or may not start Game 3 B) Rich Harden may or may not start Game 4 C) They're waiting to see if his elbow explodes tommorrow in a bullpen session. I got my ALCS tickets today, Game 1 against Detroit or Game 3 against New York. Again I'm not holding my breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NYankees Report post Posted October 3, 2006 The A's have lost all 4 playoff series they have made in the 2000's inthe full 5 game series. Is this going to be the fifth year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 These are the two teams in the postseason I'd like to see win it all, so naturally, they're playing each other in the first round. I don't really mind seeing either team win, but they'd better move onto the World Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's worth noting that only six players from the 2003 A's are still with the club. This team has changed a great deal the last three years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
