[wilkins]

The Oakland Athletics have not played a significant game all period, but they have the opportunity to play the function of looter over the following pair of weeks. The A's took the series opener in Texas Friday night with a 6-3 win, handing the Rangers their fourth straight loss. After dominating the AL West standings for the majority of the season, the Rangers are now 1.5 games rear of Toronto for the final playoff area in the American League. The A's have two even more video games versus the Rangers and will after that head to Houston for three video games. The Astros lead the AL West by simply a half game over the Seattle Mariners. Oakland will certainly see Seattle once more as well beginning September 18 when they come to the Coliseum for a three-game set. This is a various Athletics team from what we saw for most of the period. The youth movement remains in full speed and young players such as Zack Gelof and Lawrence Butler have actually gotten up a lineup that was predestined to simply play out the string. Gelof had 2 even more hits in Friday's win. Ryan Noda drove in two of Oakland's six runs. Esteury Ruiz hit his 4th homer of the period. It is all of a sudden an enjoyable group that is playing loosened and that can be an unsafe thing for all 3 groups that are going after the AL West crown.
