To be fair the stadium has needed replacement for 25+ years

Oakland continually kicked can down road for both Raiders/A's and thought they were bluffing

Which was idiotic given the Raiders history

I am thankful that as of now no Chicago teams are at risk of relocation and there hasn't been risk since Sox were flirting with TB before new Comiskey was built.
 
First: f*** the A's ownership. But more than that f*** Oakland. They lost the Raiders not once but twice and now they are most definitely going to lose the A's. When the A's move (and the A's organization moving is not exactly a new thing in their history, Philadelphia? K.C.?). I would like to see the A's also sold to an ownership group that wants to win and is willing to put some money back into the roster. After the A's move, Oakland should not be allowed another pro sports team other than GS (I know, GS plays in SF but SF/Oak is pretty much California answer to Twin Cities in Minnesota).

Second: Cool to hear that Hendriks is cancer free.

It's really not, because San Jose is the largest city in the Bay.

The agreement that handed SJ/South Bay to the Giants is ultimately what killed the A's; if they could have moved to SJ years ago the stadium probably gets built.

Yeah people forget the basketball team left too. And have to disagree on SF/Oak being the same as the twin cities. Oakland is light years different from SF, although maybe not so much anymore.

If the Sox moved their 10,000 fans would be pissed!

I had doubts about Wisdom being a regular contributor. He's second in the league in Home Runs. Baseball is dumb.

He is also playing gold glove caliber third base.

He lacks consistency at the plate though. Will go through several cold spells at the plate throughout the season. If he can limit that, he could be an all-star.

It's baseball and he's 31. It's a hot stretch. If he could he would.
 
Cease has two earned runs so far today.

Marcus Stroman has two earned runs all year.

Stro and Steele are the two best pitchers in Chicago by a long shot, but might be the two best pitchers in the national league.

LOL @ Dylan Cease
