Yes, Stan, I do see a pattern.

You need to get a better paying job that actually keeps you busy during the day.

Maybe you should try the Giants out this year if you are so unsatisfied…

Gee Chris- your theory just got blown out of the water as the A’s signed the Cuban guy for 36 million. You defenders of Beane and Wolff are going to have a hard time explaining that one.

And Beane-who didnt go to fanfest- but is going to the Oscars because he says,to support Pitt…lol. What a egomaniac liar Beane is.

As far as the A’s? we now have a team that hits a little better-maybe- on a team with no pitching.

In 2006,Kawakami said he beleived in Beanes “plan”..in 2009 Slusser wrote Beane had a “plan”..and in 2012 Urban said the signing was part of Beanes “plan”. Anybody see a pattern?

Well said, Chris, but, you’re trying to reason with the unreasonable me-me-me crowd of the bay area.

We Oakland Athletics Fans have suffered long enough And paid for our sins ( whatever they were ) Wolfe And Fisher as an ownership Group can be best explained by my favorite song by the Temptations : Ball of Confusion ! Can you name me just one thing Lew wolfe has done for us other than Tarp the third Deck ? All they do is whine like little B es ! Trade aeay four starting pitchers, including Three all stars: and still dont have any power in our lineup , who’S THE CLEANUP HITTER, Then Wolfes little sob story about we cant do anything because we play at the Coliseum. Cheapskate Creeps This is the Forth Wealthy Ownership group in Baseball and they are Absoluty Useless !

You are all ridiculous. Beane and Wolff are trying to build a franchise that can consitantly win…which is not possible when you combine baseball’s current economic climate and the team’s future in Oakland. How could an owner spend money on a team when they have no ticket revenue, legitimate sponsorships or a favorable television contract? It’s a can’t win situation. Blaming Beane and ownership is naive and irresponsible. I believe they are doing the best they can with cards they were dealt.

Since Beane has decimated the team why not in the name of a new stadium disband the team of no stars for a year or two and rebuild a brand new park on the premises? Simple.
And as John Fisher owns 90% of the A’s..Wolffs wishes are just smoke blowing. He’s old,making a fortune taking the heat for Fisher and not caring since he doesn’t give a fig for fans or baseball.

Wow, that reminds me … I bought an Irwindale Raiders hat as a little kid. I have no idea where I found it.

I know people who bought “Sacramento” Raiders sweaters in 1989.

… and didn’t Irwindale give Al Davis $10,000,000 to move to their fair city?

I can’t wait till Lew Wolff sells the franchise and we can get back to the business of winning.
