    He's what the 4th or 5th best person on the A's that were previously with the Astros Organization?

    Doesn't matter who wins, either gets crushed by the good guys.

    I am rooting for the Rays; I don't want any part of the A's

    Blah Manea is starting the wc game. Means we see him game 3 and maybe some bullpen game 5 if there is one. Less of Manea the better. Same with CFM. Of course didn’t the Rays as a whole lead the league in ERA. Either way we are in for a fight in round 1.

    3rd, Fiers/Laureano. I know you were exaggerating for effect.

    Chris Carter started for us in the '15 WC game...and walked all 3 times. Lowrie PH. Gregerson pitched. We also had Kazmir and Straily and Peacock and Stassi.

    These 2 clubs have been pretty incestuous. San Diego and Detroit used to be that way with us because Tal's son was the GM. Now it seems to be Toronto. Or I'm imagining this and that's ok too.

    Heh: broadcast just showed that CFM has 1 fewer win in his last 3 seasons than he did in his first 9

    I'm already nervous about facing either of these teams.
