What's YOUR record?

by Brian in 317 on Sep 18, 2006 7:40 AM PDT

What a great season the A's are having, especially at home. It seemed like they've been winning every game I've been to, so I decided to review my ticket stubs and figure out what the A's record has been at the games I've attended.

I've been to 32 games, and the A's are 22-10 in those games. After starting 2-5, they've gone 20-5 since May 5. And, incredibly, they've won the last ten games I've attended.

I go to a lot of games, and expect to see the A's take a bunch of losses, but they just seem to win all the time, especially recently. This is FAN NIRVANA (though I'd still rather be watching it all from sect. 317)!

Are there other crazies out there who keep track of the A's record in the games they've attended? Anybody got a perfect record (either you haven't seen 'em lose, or you're the ultimate trooper who's been to every game)?

Indeed.

I myself am 2-1, the one loss being the sole loss of the A's visit to Fenway. The two wins were back-to-back-to-back jacks against Padilla and the least disastrous of Loaiza's April starts.

I was also at the...

Padilla v Harden back-to-back-toback game. Great game. I've only made it to 3 games this year, but I'm 3-0.

However, last year I was 12-2. So I'm pretty sure I'm awesome. Oh, and I'll be going to the games either Saturday or Sunday(maybe both)!!

14-9, a .6087 clip

Which appears to be a pretty good sample of the A's at home overall, who, at 45-29, sport a .6081 win rate. So I appear to be adding at least six ten-thousandths worth of value by my presence.

I need to go more often. When are the A's moving to Sacramento again?

Holy God

How were you able to make that many A's games from LA?
Has the team bought you playoff tickets yet? They better.

my husband and i

bring a friend that lives across the street to A's games. im not really sure how many we have brought her to but they have been winning games. she going to 2 out of the 3 last angels games here.

5-1

Now I know that doesn't sound like a lot of games, but I live in Phoenix and this is the first season since I moved back from the east coast. I've gotten to as many games as I could and have loved every minute of them. Except of course for that loss (opening night to the Skankees).

I'm not going to Cooperstown until Rickey does.

I didn't count spring training,

Doh, hit the return key accidentally. Anyway, I don't know what my spring record was, but that accounts for another 10 or so games.

1-1.

0-1 if pre-season games don't count.

5-0.

Or 6-0, I can't remember exactly how many games I went to this summer. Not enough for my liking, anyway. But it should be said that the first game I went to this season was May 31, the Kendall HR game, and it all went uphill from there... so if any of you superstitious people want to fly me back to Cali for the postseason, let me know. ;)

Hmm, now that I'm thinking about it, this is the first season I've gone undefeated since '02, when I also went to five games. But I've always have a pretty good record, even though I don't get to many games in a season... I must be a good luck charm. Screw small sample size. :)

hope i didn't miss any!

I'm 5-3 for games this year so far (hoping for some more in the win column after the last series of the season hehe). All games were against the Angels (including the Kendall/Lackey brawl, and wins on my birthday and Huston's birthday) except for the 3 games in SD which unfortunately account for 2/3 of my losses haha.

I'm 6-5 if you count the 3 spring training games I went to (which, funny enough, also includes a loss to San Deigo).

9-4

including spring training

Over my life, as far as I can tell with retrosheet, though, the games I've seen them in they're 27-7. That's including spring training, and the one game I saw in Oakland.

I have no idea

but I've been to a bunch and the only loss I can remember was us getting killed by Detroit. The rest, I'm pretty hot this year. I was there for the back to back to back HRs, Bradley's walkoff against the Jays, and when we banged Schilling around a few weeks ago.

oooooooKAY...

(I think I've just figured out why I have no money.)

But my record, including preseason and A's AT Giants:
25-14 (.641)

Yay me!

Mr. Poppy is 10-3... my sister is 7-6.

Decent record

but completely unsupported by my run differential.

And after learning stats from AN, I'm afraid to go to any more games since I'll probably lose six in a row to regress back to the mean.

Ba de yah!

What about Nacho Runs differential?

What fans eat at the ballpark probably also influences the game's outcome...

No doubt

if the fans are stinking it up, why shouldn't the team follow suit?

6-2 IIRC

Might be 7-2. Different story if I had actually been able to attend all the games that were from my season ticket package, but I'll take it!

On the flip side, my best friend (who's a Giants fan - yes, I'm surrounded by Giants fans - and ambivalent about the A's) is 2-0 in the games I've dragged him to.

I might have to drag him to a couple playoff games...

Then again, 1 of those games was the Mariners, so that doesn't really count. Does it?

I didn't keep track this year

I'll try to remember next year....but I know I've been at a lot more wins than losses....

you don't to know.

you guys would band me from games this year. but when i wear a throwback jersey we've won. I'm 1-0 on the road well across the Bay. I'll wear a throwback in Anahiem.
