I’ve been an A’s fan since the 80’s and live 4 hours from the Coliseum, and I wouldn’t mind if they relocated them to North Carolina. Something has to change and any decision made today won’t even help until at least three years from now. Bud, make a decision, even if it’s a bad one like moving the Astros to AL instead of your Brewers.

Oakland is the best place for the A’s in the east bay, but the city isn’t in the position to make a new stadium happen. And, sorry, San Jose is Giants territory. How many other markets would love to have the A’s? Portland, Vegas, Sacramento, Charlotte, Utah… the list goes on.

I know Oakland is a small market team and in the grand scheme of Selig’s baseball utopia they don’t matter a whole lot but to see them flounder and be disrespected for this long is disgraceful. The Athletics have a long storied history dating back to the Philly years and have been good to very good for stretches of time in between some very lean years, like the last few, but it hurts the fanbase to see how ignored they truly are. You didn’t see the Dodger’s plight get ignored like the A’s have been. (I know they are unrelated and totally different but still). I guess Bud Selig would rather keep ignoring the situation rather than step on some toes (Giants owner). Hell, maybe they will get retracted before he has to make that decision. Problem solved.

Way to promote the game in Oakland, Bud. We’ve seen this nonsense before. If the people of Oakland don’t fall for it, someone else will.

If Campos didn’t even show up why would it be a surprising about the Rockies moving on?
