      Then lost in the first round to the Minnesota Twins. You can buy runs and on base percentage but in the end you can't buy playoff magic. That has to be earned

      As I recall, the Royals were down big in this game (11-0), and rallied late to tie this game in the 9th inning, only to lose it in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the A’s their 20th consecutive win. It’s almost as if the Athletics “felt sorry” for the Royals and said “Okay, we’ll give you a chance in this game”, and then once the Royals tied it, the A’s said “Ha!! Fooled you!!! You didn’t REALLY think we were going to let you win this game, did you?”

      It’s too bad that this Oakland team couldn’t go farther into the playoffs, as they lost in the division series in game 5 to the Minnesota Twins, and in the end, it was the Anaheim Angels that ended up winning the 2002 World Series over the San Francisco Giants.

      Insane to think Oakland baseball was something back then. Now it’s nothing. Even with the SNY booth to help, the Mets games in Oakland were tough to watch.

      For all those who said the A's couldn't draw in oakland. All the home wins during that 20 game win streak were mostly sellout. In fact they drew well over 2 million for the season.
