Davis. They creep through the Coliseum, waiting for the day when the essence of their master is broken free from it’s corporeal prison to join them and begin the destruction of the world.

Nevermind the real world ramifications of an employer subjecting employees and the public to raw sewage, there must be some evil hijinks at play, right? I wonder what they think Wolff flushed as he cackled wickedly: a cherry bomb or bag of concrete?

The last time the ATE was brought to court (and when it was originally awarded) MLB was technically two separately operated leagues (American & National) working as one. Since then, not only have they taken their *business* globally, they’ve merged into one, single, company (MLB). Standing notwithstanding, doesn’t that throw previous court precedence out the window? In sense they’ve gone from a Trust to a Monopoly.

some greedy billionaires from Frisco want to have Big $$$ for themselves. Sharing the wealth is a weird concept. They are not happy making 100mils.

There was a clog in the pipes… No way?!?!?!? it must be some kind of grand scheme… good grief, get a life.

All dismissing San Jose might do is end up with the next bidder city (San Antonio, perhaps) taking the A’s far away. The only way Oakland gets a new ballpark is if MLB agrees to pay for it. It won’t.
