THE 2019 OAKLAND ATHLETICS ARE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!
Let me start with a Celebration, first. We’ve come too far and worked too hard to let a loss take away anything from the 2019 season. The A’s have survived many other brutal losses this season, and you know what? They’re still going to the playoffs. The only game the A’s can’t lose is Wednesday’s, but what is certain is that Wednesday’s game will be played with the A’s on one side of the field. Go ahead and Celebrate.
As we patiently wait for the champagne photos from the clubhouse in what is somewhat a muted celebration after the very last minute loss, we take a deep measured breath as we allow this 96 win season to sink in.
