Heh, I remember that song....

He even won a Cy Young for the A's in 1990, won 27 games that year.

Yeah, and they got swept by the Reds in the Series... :hehe:

Hey, you guys won the year before in the earthquake Series...

Man, I couldn't believe the damage up there... And they continued with the Series... :(

What a great team the 90's A's had.

Terry Steinbach, Dave and Rickey Henderson, McGwire, Jose Conseco before he started sucking and the bullpen rocked Honeycutt, Nelson, Eck, and I think even Todd Burns had a good year that year.

Actually, I had a feeling that the A's would lose in 1990... I'd watched them all season long and realized that they were almost an exclusively right-handed team. When they played teams that had lefties, they had trouble.

The 1990 Reds had a good balance of lefties and rights and switch hitters. My amigo from college, Jon, who was from Cincinnati, I told him all year long that if the A's had to face the Reds, the Reds would win because of the righty-lefty Achilles Heel of the A's.

Well the Reds certainly owned them... What a coaching job by Pinella... Chris Szabo was MVP, right?

Jose Rijo was the 1990 World Series MVP:
1990 Jose Rijo Cincinnati 2-0, 0.59 ERA, 15.1 IP, 5 K


Nice numbers, ne? :grumble: :applaud:

That's everyone's classic dream matchup... But I hope the Yanks don't get that far...

When, er, if the Dodgers get swept out, I'm more than likely gonna root for the AL team... Unless it's the Yanks. :bleh:

ABTY(anybody but the Yankees!!!) :angry:

Damn, still can't win a game after Johan Santana. I'm assuming he's going to pitch game 4 then.
