For the first time since Opening Day, the A’s will take the field in a position where if the season ended today they would be in the post-season. For the 128th consecutive day, they will take the field in a position where if the season ended today I think we’d all be quite surprised.
Owners of the 4th best record in all of baseball (just as I said, in March, that Trevor Cahill and Edwin Jackson would lead us to be), the A’s now officially drive the jetski that is their wild card fate while seeking to make up the 5 games which separate them from the Houston Astros.
