Draconator Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I'm watching the final night game, and will be watching the very last game tomorrow. This should not be the final games in Oakland. NBC California is doing a very good job of reliving past glory of the A's in Oakland. They had a nice spot for Dallas Braden, current A's color analyst who threw a perfect game in Oakland in 2010. They had Rickey Henderson on for a full inning earlier. Rickey is still Rickey. I will always regret not making it back to Oakland for one more game since I moved back to Buffalo in 2013. Sigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sad that MLB let it come down to this, Manfred is a idiot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's No Moon Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago All of this is shameful. The A's should stay where they belong. In Philadelphia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacramento sounds nice though and the small stadium won’t have a bad seat. 2 hours ago, Mike in Horseheads said: I'll be watching tomorrow to see if they destroy the place.

Saxum Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago A's fans remove Oakland Coliseum seats, attempt to carry them out of stadium before team leaves for good https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/as-fans-remove-oakland-coliseum-seats-attempt-to-carry-them-out-of-stadium-before-team-leaves-for-good/ Quote the A's confirmed that the video was real, and those fans were stopped before they left the Coliseum. The seats were also returned to their original location. Probably designed by someone out of a job now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all that rust on the seats, probably just had to keep shaking them till they broke off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RkFast Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) You can keep your Ohtani. For my money, the "greatest offensive player" in the modern age is Rickey Henderson when he was on the A's (and Yankees too). Yes, Ohtani has a ton of steals...but NOBODY created absolute HAVOC for a defense and pitcher like Rickey did when he was on base. Get off my lawn.

US Egg Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Watching the pre-game, and as the game settles in, it does sort of hit you. Kinda like the Bills moving talk of not so long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrast to my CitiField which resembles Carlito Brigante's disco on most nights, with the noise and the flashing lights CONSTANTLY.
