The A'splayed much better ball in the postseason than the Yankees did. Granted the Tigers took them out in a sweep but they were far tougher games.
So, when are the A's going to trade Chavez? In the middle of the ALCS, he mused to the media that "these guys [the Tigers] are just better than we are." Hey, that's what I was telling friends last week at the sweep was unfolding, and it may have been obvious to everyone, but as the so-called "field leader" of the team, it's dumb to admit that you don't have the horses to beat the opposition in the middle of battle. Bad form.
