THE
OAKLAND
A'S
SWEEpP
THE
TWINS!!
BOOYAH!!


Soooo, needless to say, I'm pretty happy today about how the baseball playoffs are going. After 16 years of futility, never making it past the first round during the years they did get into the playoffs, the A's not only make it, they blow right past the Minnesota Twins winning 3 games in a row, sweeping the Twins right out of the playoffs.

I'd like to say I feel bad for the Twin's fans, and perhaps I do, but it's only a little, I'm just glad my team was finally able to advance. Now they have time to rest up for the American League Championship Series.

Let's just hope that the Yankees lose, the Tigers now have two chances to knock them out of the playoffs, having taken a commanding 2 games to 1 lead over them. I know baseball would hate that, and oh how they would love to have a "Subway Series" with both the New York teams in the World Series, but oh so sad, real baseball fans do NOT like the Yankees, and that's all there is to it.

Here's to the Tigers! GO DETROIT, knock those stinking bastards out of the playoffs!!

"Do you need me to send you a shoehorn for that hoof in mouth problem?" Oh well, at least you have the grace to say that you're kind of sorry for the Twins fans. HTP and me will probably forgive you because we divide our loyalties these days between Arizona, Wisconsin and Minnesota teams...ok...I'll add Nebraska to the mix but only if they aren't playing one of the former. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure both of Belly's Grandfathers are in a total funk still...not to mention all of Belly's Uncles and various cousins. Thankfully, Grandpa D is a very forgiving man. I'm sure he'll forgive your perfidy eventually.

heh heh, you will have to forgive me, I sort of forgot about that!

But I have to be happy, it's been 16 years since the A's have advanced to American League Championship Series. I'm sure I'll make up for it, I'll just avoid mentioning it when I come visit! :)
