Wow, finally!!! I was getting nervous there after Street blew it two nights ago. What an amazing season. Despite all the injuries, we were able to still put on a strong second half on the shoulders of two guys. Bradley and Thomas. Chavez and Swisher made sure that we didn't start the season off going 10-30, with Bradley and Thomas just stepping up so huge during late July-September. Its nice to be back on top. I will be doing more of an analysis this weekend.
So with that being said, I will be attending game 2 of the A's playoffs in Oakland this weekend. Staying in the wonderful San Remo Hotel in Frisco and making the quick jump over to Oakland for the game. Carol arranged all of this and is a wonderful B-Day gift. She is now buying all of her A's gear. I will be wearing my new Bradley shirt.
Just a quick side note on Bradley...the media loves to trash him. Over the weekend he was tossed from a game and the ESPN.com story was that Bradley lost control, threw his bat, and got tossed. While this is all true, it didn't work in this order. He was called out on a 3rd strike, was mouthing off as much as everyone else does, and was walking back to the dugout, got thrown out, threw his bat, and then came back to argue. I've been watching Bradley for the past 3 years and he really does have a terrible wrap from the media. He is such a passionate player and cares soooo much for his team, that when he doesn't perform, he freaks out. Watching him in the dugout during the games he is the main guy at the top of the steps high fiving everyone and he does a retarded dance with Swisher after every homerun. The guy has become one of my favorites.
Let's go A's
