Well, I grew up in the SF bay area and am an A's fan.  But I also cheer
for underdogs and people/teams who haven't yet had it all, so I won't
mind if the Jays get into the World Series.  As I'm also a Giants fan,
I am well set to enjoy the post-season play, as long as the Cubs don't
win it all.  

The jays chances are not so bad.  Oakland's ace, Dave Stewart, is, and
always has been, a first half pitcher.  For each of the last three years
(and maybe more), he's been (one of) the first to 10 wins, and has had
a great record at the all-star break, but his 2nd half stats have never
been as good as his first half.  

We shall see.
