Well the 10 game winning streak is now over.

Don't you feel spoiled of that 20 game winning streak? its like 10? pffff.....we had 20 one time!

Steve Karsay retiring after winning that 17 inning game Saturday, kinda weird to retire in the middle of the season, but at least he went out with a win.

I fully support ANY POSITIVE Oakland A's thread.

i've been a bum of a fan lately, i've haven't been to a game in a long time and i live 10 minutes away.

A's win 6-4 to earn a split with the pesky Royals. Huston Street put on the 15-day DL though. :frown:

Too bad we won't be facing the Stankees in the playoffs, a sure fire way to advance. Even if we were down 3 games to none we'd still stand a good chance of winning 4 in a row the way the Stankees have choked in the playoffs.

Another great second half and early playoff exist for the A's in 2006 will be the headline on Espn come October.

Just kidding. I am an Orioles fan (and we have stunk since I was eight years old, :laugh: )
Enjoy the ride A's fans for me.

Yea the Yankees have been chokers for a while now, but the A's aren't exactly postseason all-stars themselves.

This is true that's why it would be to their advantage to play the Stankees in the Playoffs.

The Angels are getting spanked by Detroit 6-0! :D

Oakland rallies past the Orioles to open up an 8 1/2 game division lead. :beer:

17 games left, and the A's are holding onto a 5.5 game lead! It's going to be a tough weekend though against the white sox. The A's are 0-3 against them this year :(.

If they can take 2/3 games from this weekend's series against the Angels, they'll clinch the AL West title!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO A'S!!! :D
