Great walkoff win!

And for those who ordered playoff tickets and have it sent to email, did you get the ticket and order confirmation or just order confirmation so far?

 

[hadowajp]

When I ordered they said I'll get them next Friday

Lew needs to sell the team. He's frustrated that he hasn't gotten word from MLB on a move, take it to bud selig, don't take that frustration out on the fans who have no control over the situation.

Selig just isn't going to say anything! When he steps down the stadium park will be settled

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

He will be forced to in October, after the judge declares that San Jose has standing in their lawsuit.

Great Podcast with Grantland's Jonah Keri interviewing Susan Slusser a couple days ago.

Great game last night, no one was there and it still felt exciting; I can't wait for playoffs.

I noticed the playoff schedule went back to 2-2-1 format instead of 2-3 like last year, that's great.

 

[hadowajp]

Yeah team with home field should never start on the road... Don't think they were ready for the new wild card format last year, smh

Magic number down to 5 after the Rangers lost another.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I'll be at the game tomorrow and probably Saturday. Hope we can clinch at some point this weekend.

Anyways, lets get the offense going here.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Need Coco to get hot going into the playoffs.

 

[captain charisma]

I wish I could be on the Westcoast for the playoffs. Watching the games with the time difference is hella weird for me. I am thankful for MLB.tv tho!

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

We need to cleanse ourselves of this SCum.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Wow. Just unreal.

 

[johnson1]

Cook what a struggle lately smh

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Coco has like five different HR celebration handshakes with different Athletics

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Magic number: 4.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

I think Coco made all those celebrations not expecting to hit 21 homers this season.

 

[johnson1]

I love Coco but I think he's on ROIDS

One game ahead of Detroit, and we own the tie-breaker.

We have to go 5-3 the rest of the way. That means win these 2 vs. Minny, then split the road trip.

If we do that, Detroit has to go 7-1 to overtake us and get home-field. They are definitely capable of doing that with their easy schedule, but I like our chances if we go 5-3.
