And our magic number is 12!

Yup, the Oakland Athletics magic number as of last night is 12.

I'm excited!

So what's everyone planning to do for the last 10 home games of the season? I myself am planning to attend at least one game of each series.

As for the post-season, has anyone purchased any rights? What has your experience been like?

Would you attend every playoff game at home if you could? Of course we know our first answer is yes, but would you really?

Because my car was stolen along with my laptop, I have been preoccupied with the inconveniences of dealing with insurance companies and borrowing friends' cars. I finally picked up a rental this morning. I'll be back on IM later today when I re-install the right software on my replacement desktop PC.

Also, I'm not springing for season tickets for 2007.

Why? Reason #2 is my impending decision on replacing my car. This was not an expense I planned on incurring this year. Let's just say every dollar counts.

Reason #1 is, I attend more games when I don't purchase season tickets than when I do. And I have stats to prove it. Check this list. By the way, this list is not complete. I don't have the heart yet to put in the September 5 game I attended. That, of course, was the game when my car got stolen.
