i work just down the road from alameda and had every intention of going today but work got in the way thanks to hurricane helene. i’ve lived up here basically since 99 and the A’s were our last affordable team in the bay
Used to be, not anymore. Why?
True, Haas was good. I’m really surprised the owners went along with the current owner and the stadium situation next year.
Sorry for your loss. My dad felt betrayed by Charlie Finley for years after he pulled the A’s from KC. We have had the Royals my whole life, but he lost his team junior year of high school.
possession is 9/10's of the law or something...The kid who had his hands on Ohtani's 50th home run ball first has filed a lawsuit against the guy he claims wrestled it away from him. Auction is on hold pending this
Yeah, the Marlins did us a solid this week for sure. Especially last night. I was watching that game and the Twins had the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th down one run with no outs. I turned the game off disgusted......

Have to add that in before the legal eagles get in here.

Kudos to the Royals for the turn around this year and Kudos to the Tigers for the turn around after the trade deadline. Last nights game was pretty much a summary of the Twins season as a whole. Start of slow and fall behind early, turn up the heat through the mid innings and get hopes up, then fall apart at the end looking like a little league team that can't seam to grasp the fundamentals of baseball.
I hope they prove you wrong as well, but sadly, we both know that probably won't happen. The last three months have been typical Twins, and it really shows the difference between being strategic with your money versus flat-out cheap. In the mix at the trade deadline, but do essentially nothing to improve the team (when everyone else is making moves), then fizzle down the stretch. The owners are cheap, and it shows. That bullpen is worn out. They didn't have to make major acquisitions. Even just adding a mediocre/decent arm or two to that pen would have made a difference down the stretch. Ugh.
The part in bold is almost infuriating, when you stop and think about it. What professional sports franchise does that? It is beyond insanity. The perfect time to build on something great, and ownership makes a concerted effort to do the exact opposite.
Rickey Henderson is the best baseball personality ever. Seriously. The clubhouse when he and Canseco were on the team must have been incredible.
I laughed out loud here at work at that. Probably get fired since I couldn't just simply use the laugh emoji.- YouTube

God I love stories about Rickey Henderson.
I love the Jon Olerud story where he gets a hit so he's standing on first base with Jon Olerud. He notices him wearing that hard helmet he used to wear when playing the field and says something like:God I love stories about Rickey Henderson.

"Hey, I used to play with a guy who wore a helmet playing first base."
Olerud says: "That was me Ricky."
Heck, it's even funnier now.I love the Jon Olerud story where he gets a hit so he's standing on first base with Jon Olerud. He notices him wearing that hard helmet he used to wear when playing the field and says something like:God I love stories about Rickey Henderson.

That's a fake one
...with an air of truth
Another story that may or may not fall into that category: near the end of his career, Rickey was boarding the team bus that was headed back to the hotel. One of the veterans suggested he sit up front because he had tenure.
I laughed again out loud at work. People are noticing now.
It’s not a lie, if you believe itGod I love stories about Rickey Henderson.
Even the fake ones have an air of truth to them
There's no way that kid can make a claim that he ever had possession. He was closer initially but was too slow bending over. The guy who got it dove and clearly had it while kid was reach down over him.

There is a video from a guy who was doing TikTok videos when that homer runs hit instead of actually trying to get the ball. It kinda looks like the young kid had it first.
For the sake of the kid, hopefully the courts will say to split the proceeds, at a minimum.
Padres are a perfect example of this. Decades and decades of bad baseball because of cheap ownership. Peter Seidler finally comes along injects some money into the team and what happens? We field competitive teams, the fan base reacts and set attendance records year-over-year-over-year.
He will fit nicely into the Yankees rotation in a couple of years after he escapes the @@@@ hole pirates organization.

The Dolphins and now this?
Hoo boy. That would be like being a Jets/Red Sox fan. Who wants to know the psychology or location of either of those scenarios?
