GAME 3, ALDS ANGLES LEAD SERIES, 2-0

haha, I actually thought of you Y4L as the game ended. Yes!

Just a reminder, this is a 5 game series. One more loss and I'm out.

I finally got 'em today. Trout homers on the first pitch of the game, but that's all they would get. mwa ha HA! Will post update a bit later.

Please. I need all the help I can get. Seriously though, just getting past the Wild Card game and getting in the playoffs was well worth the season. I go home for 3 games, so maybe, just MAYBE I can turn it around. Highly doubt it, though.

Went down again in Game 2, lost 3-0. C.J. Wilson was tough to hit. Angels lead the series, 2-0.

Just to note from Game 1 - Trout, Trumbo, Hamilton, and Ianetta (2) all went deep for the Angels, while Reddick homered for the A's. Not sure I've seen 6 home runs in a single game all year.

IANETTA HOMERS TWICE, A'S FALL IN GAME 1 Angels Lead Series 1-0

GAME 1, ALDS Oakland (91-71) vs Los Angeles (94-68)

The ball is kind of hard to see here (better in the highlights video), but this is the shot that tied it up in the bottom of the 4th. As it hooked around the fair pole, I was merely feet from being eliminated. I actually thought it was foul until I saw the first base ump give the HR signal.

JOSH DONALDSON HOMERS IN 13th, A'S STAY ALIVE GAME HIGHLIGHTS (Wild Card)

Here's how it's going down. Unfortunately there's only 1 Wild Card team, but no big deal. I have one game, win or go home, vs Toronto today. Trying to put it off as long as I can. I'll be a nervous wreck.

Seth Smith rounds 3rd base after a long home run. Jemile Weeks watches the play go down at 2nd base.

Love it! I do enjoy hearing about other people's seasons and how they are going. Sounds as if the Angels are just as tough in your season as they are mine. They finished 3 games ahead of me (Oakland) and took the West, although I made it in as a Wild Card. Great write up, BTW. Sounds like you're having a blast. Keep us updated!

How's that season going? Did you get to finish? I need details.

Well, I finished the season, got in as a Wild Card team. Will be playing Toronto. Will post matchups later, but this is who's in: Toronto Detroit L.A.A. *Oakland Philadelphia St. Louis Arizona *Atanta

Happy Birthday Mike!

I just played maybe one of the very best games I have ever played vs the Angels tonight. Won 3-2. Will post later. Wow.

And here's how it's winding down.

A's GRITTY, TAKE OUT WILSON IN 5-1 WIN GAME HIGHLIGHTS

I got em this time. Finally beat the Angels 5-1 today. With 4 games left in the season, I'm 1.5 GB in the West, and leading the Wild Card race by 3 games. Sooooo close.
