I stopped paying attention when the M's lost their chance at the wild card. That was really unexpected, honestly. I thought at the very least they would make it to the final game. Oakland is a spirited team, and I respect them, but they're a fucking thorn man. They're the Ralph Nader of the AL.
And things were looking quite positive in the end. They'd slammed the A's repeatedly over the season, only to lose the chase by 1 run. I would have been happy if they'd moved forward one more step, but the way they lost was totally anticlimactic and fucking depressing.
