The Amazing A's are tied in the loss column for the second wildcard spot and 19 games over 500. I can't name an A's player of the top of my head, but they beat the Yankees last night and are currently ahead by 4 in the top of the 5th tonight. We still have a Bay Area team in contention for the playoffs, just happens to be the team on the sunny side of the Bay.

Go A's!

Mark Canha.  Bellarmine & Cal.  Grew up in my neighborhood, I used to play court sports with his Dad.  19 HRs in 294 ABs,  Plays every OF spot, 1B and DH.  .269/.385/.517/.902.  Highest OPS of anyone on the A's with more than 50 ABs.

The last time I really liked the A's was 1971-1975.  Knew and liked all the players, Dick Williams, Charlie Finley.  Great teams.
