Except for '88 when they went to the series and '89 when they won it all. I'm pretty sure those were post-BM days.
The A's have been a surprisingly good team over the years. Especially considering their small budget and reliance on young players. They really play "team" baseball... as opposed to the super-star ball that teams like the Yanks play.
In fact that's the same reason I'm a closet Angel's fan... those boys go far with very little to work with!
I'm just really tired of seeing the A's get eliminated in an ALDS game 5... 3 years straight so far... "Oakland Pathethics" indeed!
