I'm a huge Oakland fan (even got playoff tickets in advance) but this game tonight sorta cemented it. it really comes down to the 4 game series with the Angles but they A's just don't have it this year. Having Crosby out for a time and Harden gone so long + all the other injuries was just too much for a rookie laden team like this. Next year will be something though. Blanton has found his way, Harden should be back, Haren has been spot on, Saarloos is decent. Swisher won't be a rookie either.
It'll be interesting to see what teams fail once they get in the playoffs. Some teams have been protected by their strong batting lineup and it won't be so easy in the playoffis with more equally matched teams. Once again the Cardinals look strong but we know what happened last year.
