Let’s have 40,000-plus people delivering the same forceful message to an owner who lost his way

40,000 eh? That would take at least five games to get there. Good luck.

Come back to Kansas City so we can send the Royals front office, scouting, and player development down the river on a barge.

What “rooted in Oakland” really means...

As it happens, they’re doing this when the team is hot. They’ve been winning lately. Keep coming. It will drive the owner crazy.

There will be gunplay.

Remember Rachel Phelps, the owner in Major League who wanted to lose so she could move the team? Well, she's had a sex change. Her name is John Fisher.

Remember how that turned out for her? A's fans ought to take that to heart.

We haven’t watched or been to a MLB game in decades. One of the last players strikes did it for me. That said, dad was born and raised in San Francisco. Candlestick Park was also named Where Home Runs Go To Die. The wind at Candlestick was not as bad as the Hawk in Chicago, but Willie Mays would have another 100 home runs, at least.

At one point, way after Mays had retired, there was talk of the SF Giants leaving. During that time, there were not many people in the stands. The great Herb Caen commented on the lack of fans in the stands, that if the fans were to move to another city, it would be less people than the actual total team players.

The A’s are leaving Oakland because the City has dropped the ball for over twenty years. Oakland has lost two teams in the last five years and that is NOT coincidence, it is incompetence on the Government’s fault there. Who wants to spend their hard earned money in a crime riddled hell hole like Oakland.

I used to be very active in sports. After my military service the only “sport” I can do is sailing, barely.
I am not much of a sports fan and the amount of money involved in the industry is astoundingly stupid.
I’d rather watch a high school football team or a little
league baseball team than any professional multi-millionaires.

A friend with an extra ticket asked if I wanted to go to the game with him. I decided to take a pass.

I don’t like baseball. I don’t care if the team leaves. And I don’t like the idea of leaving my car in the BART parking lot. I would also have drive through the ‘hood at night to return home.
