There is NOTHING lucky about this A's team....they are young, hungry, and good. They can pitch very well and they get timely hitting, which we have not been able to do for the last month and it finally caught up with us.
RangerRed
they have very solid pitching but their offense isn't even league average. the problem is that the rangers' offense hasn't been good for half the season. if this were the 2011 lineup we wouldn't be talking about this.

Dude, just stop. This Rangers team is the biggest entitled bunch of assholes right now. They don't give a shit anymore. This is as big a meltdown as the Red Sox last year. They are pathetic.
A's deserve it much more. You think the Rangers would have kept fighting when they were 13 behind 1st place? Hell they don't even fight when down by 1 run.

The Rangers are playing with no passion and dont have the same desire the A's have at this point.
The A's will take the division tomorrow. Our team has lost their fight, no matter what Wash says and that an easy read.

They're five wins above their third-order record. They're lucky, but they're not "scrubs." I've seen luckier than five wins above third-order record.

They don't give a shit anymore.
Can we please be rational about what we choose to nitpick? Subjective reasoning gets nothing done. The Ranger smoked some balls tonight, they just didn't find holes. The Rangers wanted to win this tonight.

Hey who are the A's starting pitchers again? I think one of them got called up from the Bowie Jackrabbits JV team earlier this year.
Sorry, but they are a bunch of way overachieving scrubs Joey. You win 15 walk offs in a year and you probably have at least 5-7 lucky as hell wins. 15 walk offs... Think about that for a second.

Man Eric, I wanted to be a god damn brain surgeon too, but that one didn't work out either.

Rangers wanted to win, but they couldn't. The Oakland A's right now are the best team in the American league. The magic is gone. Fire Ron Washinton and cut Michael Young!

If Ryan Dempster throws 50 fucking hanging sliders tomorrow for the fifth straight start, our battleship will sink with MY and Ron playing Old Maid in the galley.
Hey remember when the A's had that starting pitcher who wasn't even on a ML practice roster to begin the season, but has only thrown 2.71 ERA ball against everything the big leagues has to offer?
But Yu comes over from the second most competitive baseball league in the world and barely scrapes the 4.00 mark when he's touted as "the best pitcher on the planet".
Seriously this is bullshit.

Frontrunners??? You people dont sound like fans. You sound like your fantasy team lost.

So what's going to happen when/if the Rangers lose tomorrow, yet they still go on and win the World Series? What do we complain about then?

Loud noises!

Don't even begin comparing this to the 2011 Red Sox. This team had an above-.500 September and the A's have been UNREAL baseball since July.
Boston went 7-20 in September and gave it away.

a bigger bunch of scrubs than this fucking As team. 1 good player, they are the luckiest bunch of assholes i have ever seen.
