Who Do the A's Root for....Angels or Mariners??

[Palomar]

Do the A's hope the Angels win this series to put the Mariners further behind them,or do they go with the mindset that they still have a very slim chance they can go on a winning streak and the Angels tank and win the West?

[martinpa25]

They'll be rooting for us no question...

[Blarg]

They have no chance to catch the Angels so their only hope is to keep their head above water in the WC, that means hope the Mariners lose.

Tarpy says GO ANGELS!

[tomsred]

I just hoping that Texas takes two of three from them, it will help keep them humble.

[Angel Oracle]

Halos without a doubt, as the AL West is lost for the A'ths

The Halos would have to make the 1964 Phillies collapse look like tinker toys, in order to lose the AL West title.  

[Angelsjunky]

Angels, of course. They also hope that the Mariners don't make it because no one wants to face Felix in the one game playoff.

Rooting for the M's means A's fans are rooting for a miracle. Has any team in baseball history gained 11 games with 13 left to play?

The A's fans are now our biggest fans . At least for the next 4 days.

Considering they have only three games with the team they're chasing it's impossible. If they had 7+ games like the Mariners it would just be astronomically unlikely.

[Angels]

It's only possible if the A's win almost every game the rest of the way while the Angels do the opposite.

But yeah, not happening.

[Kenny]

Oh, yeah, A's fans. Tell us softly. Who do you root for?

Say it! Say the Angels! Do it!

With 13 games left, in order for Oakland to win the division outright:

 

A's go 13-0

Angels go 2-11

 

The Angels have not gone 2-11 in a 13 game stretch this year. And probably not last year either. Or the year before. The A's have not won 13 games in a row since their 20 game win streak in 2002.

 

No chance.

Don't jump the gun just yet, the fat lady hasn't arrive yet.........

[disarcina]

at this point A's have to hope the Halos sweep the M's.......

 

no one is catching the Halos for the AL West.

[disarcina]

last I checked, Gene Mauch and Rene Lachemann weren't managing the Halos this year.........

[disarcina]

make that Marcel Lachemann,

 

Rene is his brother and Rene actually played for the A's at one point........might have been the KC A's.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Who cares.
