Open Thread: Game 137 - A's vs. Tigers
It'd be great to see the A's help smack the Tigers out of the playoff race this weekend.
After last night's win in 10, the A's can take the series with a strong effort behind Dan Haren today.
Of course, the A's have their work cut out for them facing Justin Verlander.
I am fully expecting that the triumphant return of MILHOUS will inspire the A's to victory.

It's moments like these...
in the final days of a crappy season, with the team playing like it is.....that I feel the intentional drilling of Polanco is both warranted and justified. Every. Single. Time.

the thing that excites me most about those game is that there's a Timo Perez sighting (Melhuse isn't actually playing, after all).

They touched on it at the start of the game.
Once they started to talk about other things I muted it. We've been decimated, but infairness I'm not sure this team was good enough to compete even if they were fully healthy.
