        • brian.only Aug 31,2012 10:54 pm || Up

          Sweet, do you find many people having interest in the A’s moving there?

          • oblique Aug 31,2012 11:14 pm || Up

            There’s quite a few A’s fans down here, but we’re definitely outnumbered by Giants fans. It’s better than the peninsula. As for a possible move, no one I’ve talked to ever brings it up, other than conjecture as to whether a move to SJ might happen. SJ’s a good sports town, based on Sharks and SJ Giants, so I’m sure they’d be supported. But I grew up east bay, loving the Oakland A’s. This whole limbo situation is really just awkward, and most fans I’ve talked to truly just want the team to prosper and be good.

            • brian.only Aug 31,2012 11:29 pm || Up

              I think thats what every fan wants in their heart of hearts.

    I think that the most amazing thing about tonight was that we scored 20 runs and it was still played in about the same time as a game were many fewer runs are scored…

      Yeah, they were super efficient with their slaughter.

      McCarthy moves pretty quick, most of the game was the 6th to 8th inning!

      That was from the time-space acceleration caused when Moss’s HR into 201 re-entered the atmosphere after circling the Earth the third time, causing the loss of 37 minutes 12 seconds.

    Someone asked…sirbed are you dead sexy or a preppy bastard?….I said they should probably ask all my satisfied customers.

    But seriously, folks....

    I’d like to say thank you to Bed for unfreezing my head for a bit….man, Ted Williams just won’t shut up about fishing in our freezer tank.

    Okay all I need now is a polo shirt, some Perrier water and Christina Hendricks.

    But seriously, folks....

    At least when I wake up from the deep freeze I can count on the A’s being bad, Clint Eastwood being cool and them never making a Bourne movie without Matt Damon.

    But seriously, folks....

    But seriously, folks....

    Life is good and thank you all for being yourselves.
