Today's definitely an exciting day for my baseball fandom. If the A's win tonight not only do they win the division by I get $100 for the playoff game that won't be happening but for which I bought tickets.

Today I'll be rooting for the Cardinals just to shut that one last bit of "What If" up.

Well that was an unlikely and quite nice second half of the A's season. I'll take it.

A new downtown stadium?

Please don't do something stupid like that.

Apparently the scab referees from the NFL have found a part time gig in MLB wildcard games...

Well, that was a fun half inning to be at.

Off to see if the A's can do what the Giants just did.

If they can, hopefully it won't be so exciting as last nights game.

Nope

Go Nats! Grrrreat game last night. Let's have one more today please.

Before the game I told Lani the A's would have to get Verlander up to about 130 pitches to knock him out of the game just on pitch count. Unfortunately he only needed 122 to shut them out.
