					|   | Athletics Cruise to League Championship Series with Sweep Wednesday, October 12th , 2050
 Jim Skare said he expected the Division Series to be "a battle from start to finish."
 
 In the end, it was nothing more than a minor skirmish, as the Oakland Athletics encountered little resistance in sweeping the Chicago White Sox, to advance to the League Championship Series.
 
 "It may have been a sweep, but it still was a tough series," said Skare.
 
 Oakland won the final game by a 5-4 count and were led in the series by Skare, who was named MVP. On the series, he hit .600 with 1 home runs. He also drove in 2 RBI and scored 4 runs.
 
 The Oakland Athletics don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Toronto Blue Jays - Kansas City Royals series. Kansas City leads the series 2 games to 0. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Division Series finishes.
