It won't have happened until it happens!

To the best of my recollection, Berra never said that, though he may have. Everyone is giving up on the A's because they lost the first two games at home. No team has ever won a series after losing the first two games at home. Well, why don't the Athletics pack up and go home. The Tigers will represent the AL in the World Series this year. If the Cards beat the Mets in the first two, they can go straight to the WS too! Right?

Wrong! No team had ever come back from an 0-3 deficit until the Red Sox did. The funny thing is that nothing has ever happened until it happens. I got a "B" (87%, I believe) on my 1st college exam. It was in Physics I and I screwed up a rectilinear motion problem where a cop chases down a speeding motorist because I forgot the part in the instructions about there being a maximum velocity for the police cruiser. Oops! It still haunts me to this day. Every exam the rest of my undergraduate career - that I saw my score on - resulted in me receiving an "A" (sometimes, you don't know exactly how you do on final exams). Strange things happen. I screwed up a simple physics problem. The Yankees coughed up a 3-0 lead to the hated Red Sox. The A's have Rich Harden and Dan Haren in games 3 and 4 against Kenny Rogers and Jeremy Bonderman. The Tigers aren't great, there is no reason the A's can't catch some wins on the backs of their starting staff.
