Athletics, AL West Champions, 2006

Well, the inevitable finally happened: the Texas Rangers beat the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles California or whoever those guys are, and Oakland beat Seattle, clinching the AL West Championship in a 12-3 drubbing of Seattle. The A’s are headed to the post season after a two year hiatus. Congratulations to all the Athletics, including Mark Kotsay and Jason Kendall, who are each going to the post season for the first time after a combined 2700 or so games.

I’ve got tickets for the second home game, but I’ll feel happy if they just sweep whomever in the first round. 🙂
