Improving Too Late?

The Oakland Athletics are famous for their second half improvements, but it looked like it wasn't going to happen in 2007. However, with their 12-2 drubbing of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays tonight, the A's have won eleven of their last fifteen games are move one game over .500. They've scored six runs or more nine times in this stretch, winning eight of those games. They entered the night nine games back in the wild card race and eleven in the division. They do have six games left against both Seattle and LAnaheim, so while a playoff spot is a long shot, the A's can at least make a race of it.

I noticed this coming over the last few weeks or so.

Even if Oakland can't get back in it, the games they have against Seattle especially could be huge for the Yankees.

A hot Oakland, combined with a resurgent Cleveland (who also play the M's in 2 series) could knock Seattle right out of the wild card hunt.
