I just got back from watching the Oakland A’s beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Considering that the LA Angels lost tonight, that puts the A’s 4 and a half games ahead of the Angels in the AL West.

It’s not always easy being an Angels fan in A’s country. Especially since the Angels have had a habit of stealing 1st place at the end of the season.

I have tickets to the A’s / Angels game on the 23rd. I’m hoping that will the race for the AL West penant will be close, but not too close.

While I’m on the topic, it was nice to see the San Francisco 49ers win last night. Even if it was only pre-season. A win against the Bears, is still a win.
