The fact that @Athletics don't have comments on to talk and pay tribute to Rickey really is embarrassing. Look, we hate the Sac/Vegas crap but we should be allowed to pay tribute to the man WHO WAS OAKLAND. WHO WAS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN OUR FRANCHISE HISTORY! #Athletics

Maybe I’m just in my feels but… after Warner’s pick six, the Fox broadcast played the broadcast to commercial with “Celebration. It’s possible it was as a tribute to the A’s. 😅😭

[Evan Drellich @EvanDrellich]

Politicians across this entire country killed the Oakland A’s.

John Fisher could have fully funded a stadium in Oakland. But he—and every other owner—feels entitled to hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars. To free money.

Your officials everywhere keep proving them right.

[Marc Carig @MarcCarig]

Most teams that leave town go out in a whimper. The Boston Braves slinked away. The second Washington Senators forfeited their game because the few fans that came caused a scene. The Montreal Expos got a decent crowd.

Let the record show that the Oakland A's packed the house.

[Gregg Bell @gbellseattle]

The A’s deserve better. Oakland’s baseball fans sure as hell deserve better.

Owner John Fisher deserves to eat glass shards every meal, every day to eternity.

Makes me ill.

Mark Kotsay faced the music every single day, along with his players.

John Fisher is a bad owner, but never forget he’s an even bigger coward.

[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.

[Shayna Rubin @ShaynaRubin]

Marcus Semien gets it

[Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN]

What remains a total mystery is why the other owners in baseball stand by as the A's debacle plays out, and they don't do anything. And the situation will continue to be an embarrassment for them all, as the team moves to a minor-league park. It's mind-boggling.

@gamer_athletics @MLB TY for everything, my dude. WE WILL BE BACK! 🥳

[Oakland 68s @Oakland68s]

We got 30,000 in the house tonight, tomorrow we'll have 40,000. And naysayers are trying to tell us this isn't a viable market? Nah, we don't believe that for one second.

[Joey Pangilinan @joeyjp]

@MatthewBerryTMR I was down 105.05 to 83.86 going into the MNF doubleheader.

I needed every bit of that Allen/Kincaid stack, and McLaurin’s tuddy clinched me the W. 🙈😆

[Ben Ross @BenRossTweets]

Truly astonishing that the Oakland A’s went an entire season with replies turned off on every social media platform (including LinkedIn!)

[Kyle, a Madson @KyleAMadson]

Actually it isn’t. It isn’t part of the game at all. The game is to try and win. The A’s actively tanked to maximize revenue while driving fans away in hopes of leaving Oakland.

If this is or becomes part of the game, MLB has a huge problem.

[Joey Pangilinan @joeyjp]

@jemelehill It just might be my fave episode of the entire series. Among other things, Cersei is giving Michael Corleone— settling all family business vibes. Such a note perfect way to end S6.

[Joey Pangilinan @joeyjp]

Also, needless to say, while also should never be understated: fuck John Fisher.

[Joey Pangilinan @joeyjp]

It’s surreal. I’m trying to think in a neutral space—as in, reserving the tiniest of hope for a miracle, but aware of reality. I’ve been to a couple games the last few weeks, and plan for a couple more—including Sept 26, to soak in as much of the environment as possible.

[Justice For Oakland Fans @jvb43]

Oakland fans, we are 20 days away from the last A’s game in Oakland.

I (and others) want to hear from YOU!

How are you feeling about this whole situation as the season winds down?

Quote tweet or reply with your thoughts, emotions, or memories.

Let’s put it all out there.

[Shayna Rubin @ShaynaRubin]

This ballpark is an important part of baseball history and it’s sad it wasn’t treated as such.

Still one of a kind.

[The Iron Sheik @the_ironsheik]

fuck the hulk hogan he no good son of a bitch

[Casey Pratt @CaseyAPratt]

I honestly don't have much of a reaction to the MLB schedule drop. We all knew this was happening. But it is interesting to see how low MLB is willing to go for one bad owner. OAK/SAC/LV are all good baseball markets being dragged through the mud because he simply won't SELL.
