Stop whining, Al. I understand people don’t want to watch a game that has a penalty on every play, but what’s they alternative? Which ones do you call and which do you let go? After 10 flags anything goes? It’s on the team’s to play better.

[Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing]

Al Michaels has had enough of the flags.

"You're kidding."

"It's the 147th (penalty)."

"You're going to need some new flags to throw in the second half. These ones are filthy."

"That is another flag. In fact, there are two. We wouldn't lie to ya." 🏈🎙️🦓 #TNF #NFL

“John, you’re a serial penny pincher, you’ve destroyed your family’s great name & legacy because of your cheapness”

This sports reporter in Oakland went off on A’s owner John Fisher

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.

[Baseball Quotes @BaseballQuotes1]

I feel so bad for A’s fans…

[Damon Amendolara @DamonAmendo]

Last games attendance (capacity):
Expos: 35,000 (54,000)
Browns: 55,000 (80,000)
Oilers: 15,000 (62,000)
A’s: 47,000 (47,000)

No one claims Houston or Cleveland had terrible fan bases, undeserving of a team. A’s fans are there. They were just beaten down for 20 years by ownership.

With the bases closer together and the limits on pickoffs, any new stolen base records should have asterisks.

[Jim Koenigsberger @Jimfrombaseball]

"When it came to stealing bases, Lou Brock was the black Red Baron. He stole 917 bases in his 18-year HOF career & for him sneaking from first base to second base was more than just a 90-foot sprint."
