I don't know Scuds, they have it rough but the Halos are a team that can reel off 10 in a row, now would be a good time to do it. Fact is that they catch one of those streaks they have a huge shot in my opinion. Schedule is easier and advantage is to them with having 7 games left with Oakland, especially the last 4 at home against them. If they are within 2 games, that monkey will be GOING NUTS all game

Don't really know that you can put a % on it, but I will say that you should still have faith especially if they can get put together a nice streak. Scioscia knows how to get things moving, he is the best manager in the game. He would take the Cubs to the World Series in 2 years, no doubt in my mind.

I'd have to say somewhere around 12 to 15 percent. I really am pulling for you Scuds. Not only because your a stand up guy but I do have a liking for the Angels.

It really does not matter at this point. You took advantage of a very good bet imo. The rest is immaterial. Texas finally got a win for you.

Yea,that drunk(Padilla)owns them.Wouldn't surprise me if Showalter has him pitch twice in the next 4 game series against Oakland.That usually doesn't work,but I doubt that matters.

17% is my guess. I would rather the Halos be leading the division going into that weekend.

I could sure use an injury to Bradley ,or Thomas.Maybe Bradley will break the bat over his thigh bone the wrong way tonite.I don't know how he can do that without hurting himself.He must know the exact spot that the bat is weakest.

Well,it will be a 5% chance (at best) if young Weaver doesn't pick the team up Tuesday Night.I think when one looks at it objectively though,one team is simply getting all the breaks,and it is simply going their way.I have been waiting a month for the A's to have to play somebody of any value.Finally,the day comes(Boston arrives,)and here are the breaks showered on this A's team:

1)Manny hurt

2)Lester hurt-doesn't make his start(although he pitched fine n' dandy last Wednesday against the Halos.)

3)Ortiz sent back to Boston before Monday night's opener with the A's.(irregulat heart beat........if you ask me,the guy is having panic attacks.......most people who struggle with these attacks can lessen their severity by simply knowing what they are,and not adding to their severity by hyperventillating etc.........in other words,people have anxiety,and whether that anxiety turns into panic attacks is often up to them.)

4)Beckett gets blister problems after pitching a great 7 innings against the Halos..........probably will not even start Tuesday night against the A's,and if he does,will probably pitch poorly.

Can't believe the A's luck.Monday Night they faced a totally empty line up with a Pawtucket level pitcher(gave up 5 walks etc......simply Pawtucket trash.)Will be stunned if they don't sweep these women they are callin' the RED SOX.

Amazes me how he does that Scuds, and not hurt himself. I remember Bo Jackson doing it once or twice...but Bo was made of steel. God I miss that guy...definition of an athelete.
