Police have blamed the exhibitions for traffic accidents and crimes including shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2005\u003ca href=\"http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8542277/ns/dateline_nbc/t/oakland-cars-gone-wild/#.UQbA3Hf4IkQ\"> MSNBC article\u003c/a>, quoted Oakland Police Lt. Dave Kozicki on the dangers:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“But Lt. Kozicki says that while no one’s been killed doing a “donut,” people have been killed in accidents fleeing sideshows — and he says there’s plenty of violence generated by the crowd itself. “Just this year alone, we’ve had three of our homicides in the city of Oakland directly attributed to sideshow activity,” he says. The best evidence, says Kozicki, are in the videotapes sideshow participants make and sell. “I tell you, I could not put together a better case against sideshows than what these people are producing themselves,” he says.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The city passed laws aimed at controlling the sideshows, the\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/top-stories/ci_22311431/sideshows-still-alive-oakland\"> Oakland Tribune\u003c/a> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But former Mayor Ron Dellums proposed decriminalizing the activity, which has also inspired rap songs, \u003ca href=\"http://bayarea.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/27/the-idea-of-decriminalizing-oakland-sideshows/\">the New York Times\u003c/a> reported in 2009:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n“If a significant part the motivation for people in sideshows is to demonstrate their competence at the wheel, maybe you don’t need to do that in the streets (and) endanger people and endanger the community and endanger yourselves,” Mr. Dellums said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complaints about sideshows dropped dramatically when clubs formed to take the shows out of neighborhoods where residents objected, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/top-stories/ci_22311431/sideshows-still-alive-oakland\">Tribune\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nStriving to be more responsible and avoid run-ins with police, the clubs have moved most of the action off the streets of Oakland, choosing instead to take “cruises” to Sacramento, Hayward and Oakland where most of the tire-squealing car tricks are performed in isolated parking lots. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Bratton’s hire, part of a $250,000 contract retaining him and his consulting firm, was finalized by the Oakland City Council 7-1 after a nine-hour meeting plus four hours of public comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bratton is a policing superstar who is widely credited with achieving sharp crime reductions in New York and LA, the country’s two most populous cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some civil rights groups have criticized his reliance on “stop-and-frisk,” in which officers detain individuals they deem to be suspicious and search them for guns, and which has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=stop+and+frisk+racial+profiling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">linked to racial profiling\u003c/a> by critics.

Bratton was in Detroit, where he is also currently consulting. Edited transcript…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Last night’s council meeting was emotionally charged and a lot of the anger had to do with the mistrust that many Oakland residents feel when it comes to law enforcement. How does the police department begin to change that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>William Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, one of the issues we had to deal with in Los Angeles when I was appointed chief in 2002 was a pretty deteriorating relationship between the department and the city’s African-American community. Actually it was described as open warfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings\u003c/strong>.”\n\u003cp>–William Bratton on stop-and-frisk\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I left seven years later, all of the policies, procedures and changes that had been put in place resulted in not only crime declines every year, but polling indicated more than two-thirds of the city’s African American community and its growing Latino population thought the department was doing a good to very good job. I understand those numbers have actually increased since I left several years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the situation in Oakland, which is well-known, is about the distrust of a large part of the population and the feeling of many members of the police department that they are not respected or trusted. That was successfully addressed in Los Angeles and I see no reason why the leadership in Oakland, the mayor, the city manager, the council and the police chief would not be able to address it by reducing crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The stop-and-frisk policies that you’ve promoted in the past are of course controversial. And some Oakland residents are saying this tactic invites racial profiling. What do you say to them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: The issue of stop-and-frisk is certainly of great concern in Oakland and I’m not familiar enough with the city at this stage to really comment on your specific issue. I’m certainly aware of it in New York, where it has been a very contentious the last year or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stop-and-frisk is an area where the police have to be very, very careful to ensure that they’re in compliance with the constitutional guidelines that authorize it, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0392_0001_ZS.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terry v. Ohio. \u003c/a>And in dealing with the use of stop-and-frisk it is very important to address it in much the same way as the racial profiling issues of the 90s had to be addressed by police. Stop-and- frisk is the racial profiling issue, if you will, of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to ensure you are always using that tool constitutionally, meaning you have to comply with the very stringent guidelines. That can be done through training and supervision. You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings. And you want to ensure that it’s done consistently, that you don’t apply it separately in a poor neighborhood and a rich neighborhood, you don’t interact with blacks differently than you do with whites or Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issues in Oakland — I’ve not been there, I will soon be there. But stop-and-frisk is I think an issue that can be addressed in a way in which both sides are mollified. The police need it as a tool. The community just wants to ensure that the tool is not used in an inappropriate way.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life\u003c/strong>.”\n\u003cp>–Bratton on the consent decree OPD must comply with \u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Violent crime is getting the most attention in Oakland right now but many other types of offenses have spiked too. For example, auto burglaries have nearly doubled last year. Is there a quick way for the city to get a handle on that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: We’re being asked to do two things: look at the crime problem and develop crime strategies with the Oakland police department based on the priorities they feel need to be addressed. So if the issue of car burglaries is one of those then we’ll certainly be willing to add expertise to that of the Oakland PD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second area that we’re being asked to concentrate on is the enhancement of the CompStat process. This is a system I created in New York in the 90s, the management data accountability system, in which you use crime stats to identify very quickly where you need to put your cops. You use it as an accountability tool to ensure that your leaders and your managers know what’s going on in their respective areas and are dealing with them effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if not — why not? It’s a system that has been used extraordinarily effectively in New York and Los Angeles. New York is now into its twentieth year of crime decline, with about an 80 percent decline. And LA is into its tenth year, with a 55-60 percent decline. We’re hopeful that the system can be applied in a very similar, successful way in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Right now Oakland’s police force has about 25 percent fewer officers than it did a couple of years ago. How big a factor do you think that reduction might be playing in the crime problem?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, there’s no denying that a loss of 25 percent of your force is going to have an impact. Whether it’s in visibility, response to calls, or in the ability to have specialized units that can focus on specialized crime problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reality is you have what you have and to try and use them to the best effect possible. That’s where prioritization and focus come into play. The importance of the CompStat system is it really gives you a sense of where you’re getting the biggest bang for the buck with the personnel you do have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, some of my colleagues did a study there in 2006, some of which has just recently been implemented by Chief Jordan: the geographic distribution system with five police precincts. Part of our challenge will be coming in to very quickly get a sense of what the current circumstances are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Oakland police are making far fewer stops and arrests than they did a few years ago. Some officers say that that’s because of all the paperwork and recordkeeping required and because every stop they make is under careful scrutiny by a federal court. Is that concern legitimate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well it’s exactly the same concern that was voiced in 2002, when I went to the LAPD. And we got the federal consent decree implemented and we got crime down by about 60 percent. We got the cops out of their cars and motivated once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So hopefully working with Chief Jordan gives me the opportunity to provide some thoughts about experiences elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is what it is. You have a federal consent decree that was brought about because of the sense that the department was not performing appropriately. It’s not going to go away until certain elements are complied with. And you can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life. Once you face that reality … in L.A., we made it one of the top three priorities to get it done, get it over with and move on. I’ll have a little better understanding once I get to Oakland, but I have to believe it is one of the top priorities of the city administration to get the thing complied with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: A year or so ago you described the OPD situation as a ‘perfect storm of bad.’ What did you mean by that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: It’s that you had crises everywhere you looked. You had a crime crisis, a budget crisis, a political crisis, a crisis around the consent decree. I happen to actually see crises as an opportunity, so I have never gone into an environment that was not in crisis. And if there was not one, then I’d create one, because I think crises accelerates the need for change and change itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So your perfect storm is very similar to the perfect storm that we find here in Detroit right now. It was certainly the perfect storm I found in New York in 1990 with the transit police and in 1994 in the city of New York. And there was no place that had more issues than Los Angeles in 2002. Out of crises comes opportunity and if you’re an optimist like I am then the bigger the crises, the bigger the opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Is that concern legitimate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well it’s exactly the same concern that was voiced in 2002, when I went to the LAPD. And we got the federal consent decree implemented and we got crime down by about 60 percent. We got the cops out of their cars and motivated once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So hopefully working with Chief Jordan gives me the opportunity to provide some thoughts about experiences elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is what it is. You have a federal consent decree that was brought about because of the sense that the department was not performing appropriately. It’s not going to go away until certain elements are complied with. And you can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life. Once you face that reality … in L.A., we made it one of the top three priorities to get it done, get it over with and move on. I’ll have a little better understanding once I get to Oakland, but I have to believe it is one of the top priorities of the city administration to get the thing complied with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: A year or so ago you described the OPD situation as a ‘perfect storm of bad.’ What did you mean by that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: It’s that you had crises everywhere you looked. You had a crime crisis, a budget crisis, a political crisis, a crisis around the consent decree. I happen to actually see crises as an opportunity, so I have never gone into an environment that was not in crisis. And if there was not one, then I’d create one, because I think crises accelerates the need for change and change itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If not, they could suffer penalties, including losing federal money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have long charged that No Child Left Behind is too inflexible and relies too heavily on standardized test scores.

State education officials estimated it would cost $2 billion to $2.7 billion to meet the waiver criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has already committed to the first requirement through the adoption of the national curriculum known as the Common Core State Standards, but the state’s main teachers’ union, the California Teachers Association, has steadfastly refused to agree to incorporate test scores as a measure of classroom performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, California based its waiver application on its current measure of school achievement, called the Academic Performance Index, and several initiatives under way to boost teacher effectiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Taken together, these initiatives will provide California the opportunity to redesign the system of school accountability to ensure that it is more meaningful and more inclusive than the current federal accountability system,” Torlakson wrote in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsource.org/today/wp-content/uploads/NCLB-WaiverDenied-Torl-KirstLet122112.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter Friday to district superintendents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School reformers said the waiver rejection shows that California is increasingly out of step with educational progress nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The most contentious proviso: an accountability system that would involve using test scores to evaluate teachers and principals\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>If the state had submitted an adequate application, low-income schools would also have gained flexibility in how they can use federal money, noted Erin Shaw, spokeswoman for Students First, a Sacramento-based reform group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This unfortunately comes at a time when school budgets remain tight and the `fiscal cliff’ looms,” Shaw said in a statement. “California has already left millions of badly needed federal dollars on the table by failing to submit competitive applications for `Race to the Top’ funding. It’s time to change the system that rejects accountability and continually risks classroom resources that rightfully belong to students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teachers association and Torlakson have said they are in favor of Congress rewriting the Elementary and Secondary Act to incorporate state policy differences and to give more flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update\u003c/strong>: From \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsource.org/today/2012/feds-deny-state-no-child-left-behind-waiver/24676#.UNtjz3fhczT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EdSource\u003c/a>, Dec 21… \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[U.S. Education Secretary Arne] Duncan has said that he might consider granting a waiver to districts in states whose waivers are turned down, as long as the districts meet the criteria, including evaluation systems. Among those that will now press Duncan to move forward with the idea are the eight unified districts that have come together under the umbrella of the nonprofit California Office to Reform Education (CORE). Its members include Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento City and Fresno. Fresno Unified Superintendent Michael Hanson said last night, “We’re hopeful the Department of Education will consider NCLB waivers at the district level through consortiums like CORE.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

State education officials estimated it would cost $2 billion to $2.7 billion to meet the waiver criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has already committed to the first requirement through the adoption of the national curriculum known as the Common Core State Standards, but the state’s main teachers’ union, the California Teachers Association, has steadfastly refused to agree to incorporate test scores as a measure of classroom performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, California based its waiver application on its current measure of school achievement, called the Academic Performance Index, and several initiatives under way to boost teacher effectiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Taken together, these initiatives will provide California the opportunity to redesign the system of school accountability to ensure that it is more meaningful and more inclusive than the current federal accountability system,” Torlakson wrote in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsource.org/today/wp-content/uploads/NCLB-WaiverDenied-Torl-KirstLet122112.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter Friday to district superintendents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School reformers said the waiver rejection shows that California is increasingly out of step with educational progress nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The most contentious proviso: an accountability system that would involve using test scores to evaluate teachers and principals\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>If the state had submitted an adequate application, low-income schools would also have gained flexibility in how they can use federal money, noted Erin Shaw, spokeswoman for Students First, a Sacramento-based reform group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This unfortunately comes at a time when school budgets remain tight and the `fiscal cliff’ looms,” Shaw said in a statement. “California has already left millions of badly needed federal dollars on the table by failing to submit competitive applications for `Race to the Top’ funding. It’s time to change the system that rejects accountability and continually risks classroom resources that rightfully belong to students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teachers association and Torlakson have said they are in favor of Congress rewriting the Elementary and Secondary Act to incorporate state policy differences and to give more flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update\u003c/strong>: From \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsource.org/today/2012/feds-deny-state-no-child-left-behind-waiver/24676#.UNtjz3fhczT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EdSource\u003c/a>, Dec 21… \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[U.S. Education Secretary Arne] Duncan has said that he might consider granting a waiver to districts in states whose waivers are turned down, as long as the districts meet the criteria, including evaluation systems. Among those that will now press Duncan to move forward with the idea are the eight unified districts that have come together under the umbrella of the nonprofit California Office to Reform Education (CORE). Its members include Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento City and Fresno. Fresno Unified Superintendent Michael Hanson said last night, “We’re hopeful the Department of Education will consider NCLB waivers at the district level through consortiums like CORE.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That lifted you back up a little bit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They needed that lift after the way Justin Verlander shut them down for nine brilliant innings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s struck out 11 times and managed just four hits against last year’s AL Cy Young winner and MVP and were unable to complete an improbable comeback in the AL division series, losing Game 5 to the Detroit Tigers 6-0 on Thursday night.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland overcame losses in the first two games of the best-of-five series and a two-run deficit in the ninth inning of Game 4 to force the decisive game against the Tigers. But Verlander proved to be too tough on this night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Verlander gets on a roll like he was today, especially once he gets into his rhythm, you get into the middle innings and he’s rolling along pretty good, it’s tough to stop him,” manager Bob Melvin said. “It’s like a locomotive going at a high speed. He was tough to deal with. Unfortunately he had really good stuff tonight and carried it all the way through tonight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what looked as if it could be a good omen for the A’s, the previous four pitchers to start a winner-take-all postseason game the season after winning the Cy Young award all ended up on the losing side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Verlander was sharp from the start, allowing just three baserunners in the first seven innings. The two hits and one walk all came with two outs as the A’s never really threatened Verlander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yoenis Cespedes was stranded after his double in the first, Brandon Moss was out trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt following his walk in the second and Derek Norris struck out swinging on a 98 mph fastball after Moss’ two-out single in the fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s always tough,” outfielder Coco Crisp said. “You go out there and you battle him the best that you can. Today he had some of his best stuff of the year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jarrod Parker, one of a record three rookie pitchers to start in this series, pitched well again but proved to be no match for Verlander for a second time this series. After being hurt by his own error in a Game 1 loss, it was two wild pitches in a two-run third that helped do in Parker this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infante led off the inning with a single and advanced on a wild pitch. Austin Jackson followed with an RBI double and went to third on Quintin Berry’s sacrifice. Jackson scored on a second wild pitch, giving Detroit a 2-0 lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker left with runners on first and third with one out in the seventh and sat in the dugout with a towel draped over his head in frustration. That only grew deeper when the bullpen those two runners and two others to score that inning to make it 6-0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s were never supposed to be in this position after trading top starters Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill and closer Andrew Bailey in the offseason as they were building for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That future came quicker than anyone expected as Oakland overcame a major league-low payroll of $59.5 million to beat out the big-spending Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels for the AL West title. They wrapped up that title with a three-game sweep of Texas in the final regular season series, bringing a rare excitement and intensity to an out-of-date stadium that has struggled to attract fans in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That carried over to the postseason as the A’s staved off elimination the previous two nights, including the dramatic comeback from two runs down in the ninth inning Wednesday to force Game 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s were hoping to ride the momentum from that three-run rally to win a postseason series for just the second time since 1990. Four teams previously had overcome a two-run deficit in the ninth inning or later of a potential elimination game and went on to win the series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of joining teams like last year’s St. Louis Cardinals that accomplished the unlikely feat, the A’s can only take those memories — not a series win — with them from their 15th walkoff win of the season Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This team has just been so amazing throughout the entire year,” third baseman Josh Donaldson said. “We’ve put a really great run together. It was something special and hopefully something to look forward to next year.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

(AP) — Almost as soon as Omar Infante threw out Seth Smith to end the Oakland Athletics surprising season, despair turned to appreciation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/Oakland-As-logo1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-78144\" title=\"Oakland A's logo\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/Oakland-As-logo1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"194\" height=\"194\">\u003c/a>The defeated A’s came out of their dugout to a standing ovation from a towel-waving crowd, soaking in the energy that fueled their run to an improbable division title and basking in one last “Let’s Go Oakland!” chant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was the best part of the whole night,” second baseman Cliff Pennington said. “It went from, ‘Man, the season is over’ and the down of that to being able to walk out there and just see them one last time and kind of soak that in. That lifted you back up a little bit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They needed that lift after the way Justin Verlander shut them down for nine brilliant innings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But Verlander proved to be too tough on this night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Verlander gets on a roll like he was today, especially once he gets into his rhythm, you get into the middle innings and he’s rolling along pretty good, it’s tough to stop him,” manager Bob Melvin said. “It’s like a locomotive going at a high speed. He was tough to deal with. Unfortunately he had really good stuff tonight and carried it all the way through tonight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what looked as if it could be a good omen for the A’s, the previous four pitchers to start a winner-take-all postseason game the season after winning the Cy Young award all ended up on the losing side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Verlander was sharp from the start, allowing just three baserunners in the first seven innings. The two hits and one walk all came with two outs as the A’s never really threatened Verlander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yoenis Cespedes was stranded after his double in the first, Brandon Moss was out trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt following his walk in the second and Derek Norris struck out swinging on a 98 mph fastball after Moss’ two-out single in the fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s always tough,” outfielder Coco Crisp said. “You go out there and you battle him the best that you can. Today he had some of his best stuff of the year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jarrod Parker, one of a record three rookie pitchers to start in this series, pitched well again but proved to be no match for Verlander for a second time this series. After being hurt by his own error in a Game 1 loss, it was two wild pitches in a two-run third that helped do in Parker this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infante led off the inning with a single and advanced on a wild pitch. Austin Jackson followed with an RBI double and went to third on Quintin Berry’s sacrifice. Jackson scored on a second wild pitch, giving Detroit a 2-0 lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker left with runners on first and third with one out in the seventh and sat in the dugout with a towel draped over his head in frustration. That only grew deeper when the bullpen those two runners and two others to score that inning to make it 6-0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s were never supposed to be in this position after trading top starters Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill and closer Andrew Bailey in the offseason as they were building for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That future came quicker than anyone expected as Oakland overcame a major league-low payroll of $59.5 million to beat out the big-spending Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels for the AL West title. They wrapped up that title with a three-game sweep of Texas in the final regular season series, bringing a rare excitement and intensity to an out-of-date stadium that has struggled to attract fans in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That carried over to the postseason as the A’s staved off elimination the previous two nights, including the dramatic comeback from two runs down in the ninth inning Wednesday to force Game 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s were hoping to ride the momentum from that three-run rally to win a postseason series for just the second time since 1990. Four teams previously had overcome a two-run deficit in the ninth inning or later of a potential elimination game and went on to win the series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of joining teams like last year’s St. Louis Cardinals that accomplished the unlikely feat, the A’s can only take those memories — not a series win — with them from their 15th walkoff win of the season Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This team has just been so amazing throughout the entire year,” third baseman Josh Donaldson said. “We’ve put a really great run together. It was something special and hopefully something to look forward to next year.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
