The Oakland A's of Fremont/San Jose/Sacramento/Portland
Bored replied to NoCalMike's topic in Sports
Oakland is of course part of the San Francisco Bay Area television market which is the 4th largest t.v. market in the country behind only New York, L.A., and Chicago. Granted they are sharing the market but it's been perfectly capable of supporting two teams for 40 years and there's little reason that that can't continue. If the A's are going anywhere, it will be San Jose. Just think if the owners hadn't stepped in and prevented the Giants from moving to Tampa in 1993 we wouldn't even be having this conversation. That's a great "What If?" scenario because if the Giants had moved it's unlikely they'd sign Barry Bonds that offseason and of course the Devil Rays would have never come into existence. -
Penn State did their job with a big win over Illinois in a last second thriller.

The '79 Blue Jays followed up an awful April with an even worse May and now have a commanding nine game "lead" in the cellar of the A.L. East. Their year-mates the '79 A's had a brutal May as well and have committed a league worst 74 errors in 56 games.

And I don't know anything, because Robothal is reporting that the A's are about to sign Garciaparra after all. They have quite the roster crunch on their infield at the moment. Not overly excited by this move as Nomar has done little to nothing the last two seasons.

Nice. Time for Bobby Crosby to start learning how to play second and third base as it's utility infielder time for you buddy. This probably also means Nomar Garciaparra will be retiring if the report was true that it was either that or sign with the A's and that doesn't appear likely now with Cabrera on board.

They're dropping like flies from the American team as Grady Sizemore, Brad Hawpe, and Joe Nathan have all pulled out plus Brian Fuentes will miss the first round of pool play due to "family issues." Shane Victorino was already added to replace Sizemore but no word on other replacements.

ESPN is reporting that as well. At this point I think he's just trying to skip out on Spring Training.

Quicky entry here. First off I'm currently working on a list of the 100 greatest baseball players of my lifetime. Whether I actually finish it is another story as I've tried to do similar lists like this before and always ended up chucking the whole thing. Hey it's World Baseball Classic time and for this entry just going to very quickly put together my own Team USA. I did this a for 2006 (LOLZ Dontrelle Willis) so might as well do it for 2009 since I need an excuse for an entry. This time around though I'm going construct a roster based on a more standard baseball roster rather than the extreme reliever heavy WBC rosters. This is totally based if no one was injured and if Alex Rodriguez wasn't a TRAITOR TO OUR COUNTRY! Starters C.C. Sabathia Brandon Webb Tim Lincecum Roy Halladay Relievers Joe Nathan Jonathan Papelbon Brian Fuentes Brad Lidge Heath Bell David Price C: Joe Mauer 1B: Mark Texeira 2B: Chase Utley 3B: David Wright SS: Alex Rodriguez LF: Matt Holliday CF: Grady Sizemore RF: Nick Markakis DH: Chipper Jones Bench Brian McCann Lance Berkman Dustin Pedroia Jimmy Rollins Evan Longoria Curtis Granderson

King Henry III, Walter Matthau, Jimmy Carter, Julie Andrews, Rod Carew, Randy Quaid, and Mark McGwire.

I believe their primary announce crew for their Thursday night regular season games will be Matt Vasgersian and Harold Reynolds although it was reported when Costas signed on that he would be calling some games.

The Oakland A's to Fremont deal is officially dead. So what's next? Is Bored our only A's fan here? I know that San Jose and Sacramento are frequently discussed as alternatives, but I don't see either one being viable, especially right now. Ahem. I agree though that I don't think any deal for a new stadium will be done any time soon unless the economy suddenly does a 180. Won't surprise me if the A's are still in the Coliseum for another decade.

South Africa has a 17 year old pitcher on their roster by the name of Dylan Lindsay who the Royals signed a couple of months ago. I'm interested in getting a chance to see him pitch.

Hey you remember last year we had a third postseason tournament added in College Basketball Invitational? Okay maybe not, but trust me it did take place but don't ask me who won. Guess what? We now have four postseason tournaments this year. Say hello to the CollegeInisder.com Postseason Tournament. This was announced a month ago but hell if I noticed. That now brings the total number of postseason bids to 129.
