@SamBlum3@BillShaikin@latimes Same asshat who said the WS trophy was just a piece of metal. Also being an OAKLAND A’s fan (RIP), I could never in a million years be a Giants fan. How does the @MLB always end up with incompetent leadership?
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.
@Baseballism@Ntilbury Super lame. Can you add the years, replace ‘A’s’ with ‘Oakland’ and sell it without licensing? It’s not really remembering Oakland if you don’t add either of those two pieces…
Here’s a hilarious MLB conspiracy theory for you.
Last Dive Bar is an online store that describes itself as a “premier online store for unique and stylish apparel that celebrates the iconic Oakland Coliseum”. Go to the website and you’ll see that their apparel seems to have a central theme…
Their homepage features shirts and hoodies that read “Boycott” and “Sell the Team”. There’s also a shirt depicting A’s owner John Fisher playing with a puppet that resembles A’s President Dave Kaval. Last Dive Bar hosts a yearly Fans’ Fest that is openly anti-ownership.
Now the fun part. Their Twitter account tweeted pictures of 4 A’s players wearing their wristbands…
Esteury Ruiz - demoted
Brent Rooker - benched
Cristian Pache - traded
James Kaprielian - released
This is fucking pathetic. How is this not disqualifying? This toad is the steward of a glorious sport, dripping with history and he feels entitled to mock fans who are making their voices heard as he sits by and caters to hiding billionaires? Why do we accept this in our culture?
Listen to the difference between the deafening (planned) silence to the eruption of “Sell the Team” chants.
ONLY in Oakland.

@melissalockard That isn't accurate. People are still trying to get in. Total is well beyond 30,000. Also that doesn't include all the people who couldn't find parking and had to leave.
