I know there are a few people on the site now that think the a's are not that good of a team based off of last nights performance. After watching most of the game and reading the box score the game was much closer than the score indicated. Zito was perfect through the 1st 8 batters, gives up a HR and then has a inning and a half melt down...after the a's pulled zito the tigers scored zero runs and managed only 4 hits off of the a's bullpen. Now the a's offense did look terrible but they did get on bases and had a few chances to drive in a few runs...the bottom of the 4th and 5th the a's had runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs and yet could not manager to get a needed hit to drive in a few runs..i am impressed on how the a's pitched yesterday bedsides zito's inning and a half meltd down....i do see the a's coming out tonight and keeping the game much closer than last night

the only problem with that is that rebertson was the tigers worst pitcher and only loss last series, the a's may be good, but if the tigers pitching can shut down the yankees, what makes you think they cant do it to the a's

Simple equation

If Zito=Santana, and Oak=Minn, then Det sweeps (or maybe loses one)

Last night was a must-win for the A's, as the quality of the starters drops off for them as much as the Tigers starters get better. Talent aside, it's a huge mental blow for them, and I think they come apart just like the Twins did.

The Tigers have a better team all around. I give them the edge in Pitching, Bullpin, fielding and manager. They are close in batting but I have to go with the Tigers again.

This all points to one thing..................TIGERS WIN 4-1. :drink:
