Street Survivors

I'll keep it brief because this team has made me speechless. I'm comfortable enough to admit I thought the magic that's turned the Coliseum into David Copperfield's hat had disappeared. Wrong. The A's pulled their 15th walk-off rabbit out of that hat Wednesday night. By forcing a fifth game in the American League Division Series, it gave everyone one more night of summer even if felt more like St. Louis, Cincinnati, or dare I say, Detroit? Cold weather, light rain falling, the A's cheating death when it appeared the Detroit Tigers would finally put away gritty little Oakland's dream season.

No need to recap anything, just cherish that there's an opportunity to finish off this comeback. I'll be there, as I rolled the dice and bought a couple of Game 5 tickets just in case there would be a Game 5. Until then, but maybe an afternoon rant before what should be another electric atmosphere in Oakland.
