The movie Major League in real life. This sucks. Oakland actually had good fans (when the team TRIES to win).
Billy Beane should be ashamed of himself. I have lost every ounce of respect for him.
Don't you think that maybe it's time for some sort of legislation to prevent these sports owners from holding teams hostage with the ransom of "build me a stadium or else......"?
As soon as the Orioles got good again, Angelos was threatening to take them away. The Brewers and White Sox continue making threats and baseball is considering expansion?
Tanking for a better draft pick is a good strategy. Tanking to yank a team away from it's fans is a crime.
They'll just be called The A's.
Why not just have them tour the country and play in Salt Lake, Charlotte, San Antonio, Nashville, Indy, Montreal.......get an idea of how the perception for baseball is before considering expansion.
