wegner Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Wow, I just checked the wild card standings. I knew Oakland had been struggling but did not realize they had fallen a 1/2 game back of both Toronto and Seattle. Let's keep them down and win this series. Interesting to see if Toronto can make a run at Boston/NY. And if Seattle wants to go nuts and sneak in...ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
