I can admit when I’m wrong. The South Bay has much more wealth than any county in this area. I suppose, since I’m an East Bay native (although no longer living there), I got a bit defensive about it. I don’t feel the need to apologize for that though because I think you’d understand being defensive of your “home turf.” Forgive me SJ guys. I’m not being sarcastic by the way. SCL Co. is f’king wealthy as hell.

Yes. Stay away from Facebook. If the A’s reached the WS, it’d be obnoxious to hear Giants fans being negative. The Giants getting to the WS has already been a bitter pill to swallow. If they win, that pill might have to go elsewhere. Whatever. Baseball is as much fun and/or misery as you allow it to be.

@eb,
Advice: stay off of FB during these “tough” times. The perfect anecdote to all of this: an announcement before years end that a NEW A’S BALLPARK will built in the Bay Area. That would/will be awesome…

No kidding. It’s like the sad state of education, the economy, terrorism, extremism (both religious and political), etc… weren’t enough. Now we must live in a world where the Giants are not only world champions, but a dynasty. These are troubling times indeed.

I live in the East Bay and know plenty of A’s fans. There’s fans of each team in the area, just like throughout the most of the Bay. The problem is the Giants probably control 70% of the fan base in Northern California. A WS win only widens the gap. What’s sad is this group of Giants will have won more WS than the LaRussa A’s, I’ve already heard some Giant fans on FB make the dynasty claim. What a sick time we are living in, indeed.

“Seems like most East Bay folks I know are all Giants fans.”
.
Same here. I can count on far less than one hand the east bay folks I know who still root for the A’s (it’s 1). The rest have all either switched to the Giants by 2010, didn’t give a shit about baseball until 2010, or were Giants fans to begin with.

Antoinette D: “East Bay folk you mentioned are currently yelling their asses off donning black and orange . . . .”

Hey, watch it, man. I resemble that.

Ouch tony d. Yet so true. I can imagine ppl from wealthy parts of the east bay from piedmont, walnut creek martinez pleasonton san Ramon fremont union city yes I bet they are all at the sf giants game and I hope bud let’s the A’s move. Maybe Oakland has baseball heart , but too small to support it now.
