I'm not sure who I think will win it all anymore. Really liking how those KC boys have been playing lately tho. If I had a 2nd fav MLB team they'd be it right now for sure.
@LostProphetFLCL: Obviously anything can happen in baseball (injuries, slumps) All I'm saying is on paper they're the fav in the AL. Give those pitchers run support an they're gonna be tough to beat. I could care less about both teams , but the A's are stacked.
And Boston was cursed to never win a WS again apparently. Could the A's lose in the first round again? Ye. Could they go on to the WS if this trade works out? Ye. Obviously the Tigers are a WS contender, they are a top 3 team in the AL... thanks. No one said otherwise. Talking about what the A's did in the playoffs in the past doesn't mean shit this year. The offense is better than past teams and the pitching is once again top notch. The trade they just made, assuming these fucks continue to pitch like they have in the NL, just makes Oakland better than they've been in the past.
You act like Detroit took a shit on Oakland the last two years when they were both close series and honestly could've gone either way last year. They improved from the year prior and look to be improved from last year. Does that mean they are FOR SURE winning the WS? **** no, but you gotta like their chances this year compared to years in the past. Well, except when they had the big 3 back in the Moneyball year maybe. Just saying the Tigers haven't won shit yet. I'm not sure why you are harping on the A's playoff failures when Detroit has basically been the Peyton Manning to Oakland's Tony Romo.
It matters because the Tigers have always seem to have had the A's number and the two teams keep clashing in the playoffs and with both teams success they are very likely to clash again.
I honestly don't feel like their chances are any better than they have been.
The **** does past series have to do with this year? That doesn't matter at all dude. Different team chemistry, different year.
You serious? Having the best starting rotation in baseball MAJORLY improves their chances bud. They are no doubt the favs now to come outta the AL. Saying otherwise is just dumb.
Yup those changes really have been making a difference. They totally didn't just get swept by Detroit or anything, you know the team that keeps knocking them out of the playoffs...
That totally was impressive beatin their 2 new starters in that sweep. Oh that's right..ya'll haven't even seen them yet. The changes haven't had a chance to make a difference yet, dipshit.

Yea it was a great deal for both clubs really. That division race will be fun to watch down the stretch with the A's an Angels. Brauns Rangers tho...LMFAO
