I’m sure you heard yesterday that the A’s have climbed into a tie with the Twins for the AL Wild Card after being left for dead a few weeks ago:
How well are the A’s playing right now? They’ve won six in a row, 12 of 14, and 22 of 27 to climb a season-high eight games over .500.
Oh, and they’ve also pulled into a tie with Minnesota for the American League Wild Card lead. Seven weeks ago, they were 12 1/2 games back in that race.
They’re now only 5 1/2 games behind the evil Anheim Angel-Yankees. I don’t know what sort of a deal Arte Moreno signed with the Devil, but experience says the A’s will be in the playoffs again.
