Remember when Dave Kaval said the A’s needed to buy Coliseum site as a backup to Howard Terminal because it provided an “assured path” to a ballpark in Oakland, and MLB threatened to relocate A’s if Oakland didn’t sell their half of site and drop their lawsuit against Alameda County, but then the site was suddenly “not viable” after Oakland did everything MLB asked?
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.

You damn right! And as long as that piece of shit Fisher owns them, it ain’t ever gonna stop!!!

By now many of you have seen “Goodnight Oakland” by @GermyWexler.
But did you know he wrote and produced the heartfelt “This Is Oakland” video narrated by the Voice Of God, Roy Steele?
A video ownership wanted taken down from the A’s website because as they said, it “glorified Oakland”.
Jeremy was a producer with the A’s and had worked 6 years for the organization. He’s also a lifelong A’s fan.

SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.
