Game still not over..... right?

 

[Terry Yake]

holy shit they did it

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The A's have done it!

Hats off to the White Sox for a heck of a year. A team to be reckoned with.

 

[c9777666]

Thought Cubs got rid of him because Maddon became available.

they did

 

[GKJ]

Oh man what a pitch to end it

 

[EpochLink]

Oakland wins

 

[c9777666]

The A’s AND the Braves advance........ and the Twins can’t win ONE stinking game.

2 out of 3 snakebitten teams advancing ain’t bad

 

[JWK]

A's/Astros playoff series? Maybe 2020 isn't so bad after all.

 

[Terry Yake]

first playoff series win in 14 years. still can't believe they actually did it

bring on the trash

 

[c9777666]

Maybe the secret for the A’s to win a series was to fall behind early

I see it as opposite

If anything this feels like step or two back for organization as our failed manager is likely to get extension and our gutless GM will get one as well (Hey we are fine with our SP ,,, Totally dont need to trade for a SP)

Feels like classic case of a contending window being slammed shut after only being briefly opened (If it even was opened at all)

If the Sox get a new manager, they can contend for sure.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Congrats @Quid Pro Clowe and @Terry Yake

My perfect bracket thanks you

They wont

Sox already extended this loser once and will do so again

sox should be at the top of the central for the next few years at least with all that young talent. especially anderson, dear god i'm glad the A's don't have to face him anymore. indians window looks like it has closed and i don't know what to make of the twins going forward

all they need to do is replace renteria.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Also its shocking but Abreu just completely fell apart when Sox needed him most

 

[Terry Yake]

melvin pinch hitting pinder for lamb was the difference maker in this game

 

[EpochLink]

Now you know how Jays fans feel about Montoyo

 

[Tuggy]

Feels good man...

14 years and so many heartbreaks in between.

Why would the window be shut?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Sox are a sp or two away from being elite imo.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

It was great. Pinder vs Heuer was always better than Lamb vs Bummer. Plus he's an upgrade defensively.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Well I cant sleep so here I am

Congrats Clowe and Terry

Melvin outmanaged the embarrassment we have on bench in Renteria

Sox will never contend with him as manager.. There is a reason Cubs celebrated moving on from the mistake but Sox being dumpster diving joke they always are signed him and then extended him

Making it a bullpen game was very questionable. To use Tim Anderson's own words it seemed like they didn't do their homework. A's have struggled hitting off starting pitchers and have tee'd off on bullpens.

 

[darko]

Sox are a sp or two away from being elite imo.

For sure.

Giolito is very good. Dunning and Cease look good. If Crochet turns into a frontline starter they'll be very good for a while considering their core on offense is very young.

You're nuts, as always.
