ST Game #2: A’s/Angels, 3-1 Angles win

One of my fellow authors has already posted an in depth analysis of this game today,  so I will just cover what the A’s did. The only RBI by the A’s today was by Jack Cust, who hit a solo shot. Chris Carter, who is starting the spring with a bang, had a double today. A’s pitching today looked good, with Sean Gallagher pitching 2 innings with 2 K’s to show for it. Brett Anderson, named the A’s best prospect by baseball America, game up 2 runs in his Spring Training debut. Box Score.

Holliday and Giambi did not play today.

San Jose pursuing Oakland A’s *sigh*

Will this ever end? Yet another bid, at another location, in another city, this time in San Jose. Thursday, A’s Council members took a meeting today about making a deal with the A’s and the MLB to have a new stadium in their town of San Jose. Home of the San Jose Sharks (NHL) and San Jose Earthquakes (MLS, Wolff also owns the ‘Quakes), San Jose seems like an alright venue for the A’s to play in, but the A’s need Oakland too keep a fan base alive and thriving. Just build a new damn ballpark in Oakland.  Bud Selig sent out a memo about the news: “Bringing the A’s to San Jose is a great opportunity to market San Jose and the downtown core,” the memo reads. The Redevelopment Agency owns most of the 14-acre project site next to downtown Diridon Station and the EIR has been completed,” it reads. “The development of a stadium would pump $500 million into San Jose and create several hundred construction jobs. A stadium would act as a catalyst for the development of a larger, transit-oriented community adjacent to the future portal to BART, Caltrain and High-Speed Rail.” This could happen, after all, Lew Wolff was Selig’s frat buddy. I need a drink.

Nomar

If you have read my past articles, you know my hatred for Lew Woff. Wolff was looking at site in Fremont for there new stadium “Cisco Field” which came to a abrupt stop a couple days ago. “To tell you the truth, I don’t really have a Plan B,” Wolff said. “Right now, I’m going to take a breath and think things out. I’m not really sure things would be any easier in Omaha, either.” Really Wolff? Omaha?

A’s Looking at Garciaparra

The A’s have expressed interest in Nomar Garciaparra, apparently it is pretty serious. Nomar, is also looking at a deal in Philly. The A’s have not dropped intrest in Orlando Cabrera according to a source. The A’s are also looking at a couple pitchers: Dennys Reyes and Andrew Sisco. Sisco in a Minor League Contract.

Cactus League Starters

Left-Handers Josh Outman and Gio Gonzales will be the first two pitchers for the A’s Cactus league opener vs. Milwaukee. Sean Gallagher is set too start game two.

The evil Tyrant himslef, Lew Woff

A day after I wrote an Article on how the A’s owners should reconsider building Cicsco Field, the next day they cancel it. How funny? Did I get to them? Nah!

The Oakland A’s have asked the city of Fremont to stop the planning process for building a stadium in the city, various agencies are reporting. The move is not much of a surprise — rumors had been circulating this week that the team was reconsidering its plans to build the stadium in Fremont. Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman told The San Francisco Chronicle that he thinks “this means the A’s aren’t going to build this here, at least not at that site.”

The A’s should really consider buying out Golden Gate Fields.

This should be obvious to Lew Wolff! Just look around! Why Fremont? You really think that the fan base will just love you if you build a nice stadium and slap a corporate name on their like “Cisco Field”? I don’t think so!

I dont think so!

This ball-club has moved too much. They have been too Kansas City and Philly. They have built up some history in Oakland, so why move? Walter Haas is rolling in in grave (RIP Walter).

Here is solution Mr. Wolff: Use your b-r-a-i-n

I guarantee that 90% of your fan base will not be happy, and 30% will become Giants fans!

Here are some good options, with out moving away from Oakland

1. Buy Out Golden Gate Fields

This place has no future, they just want somebody to take it away. Wolff, buy this place, it is perfect! It is right on the San Francisco bay, just as easy to get there as getting to the Colosseum, and the fans would be happy!

2.  Spruce up the Old Yard

Everybody knows how bad the A’s park is. It is shared with the Raiders, not good. Trust me, Candlestick park was bad enough. If the Wolff could work out a agreement with Al Davis (shivers) they could fork up the money to fix up the park! They could make is look nice.

Im sure there are more solutions out there, so please, leave a comment, I would love to hear about what you have to say.

This section of my writing you will see a lot, here are some random blurbs about the A’s:

Ziegler Named to Team USA for WBC:

Brad Zielger, as all A’s fans know, put up amazing relief numbers with a 1.06 ERA , and posted up a big league record with 39 inning scoreless streak. “I’ve wanted this opportunity for a long time,” Ziegler said Wednesday. “I campaigned to get on the Olympic team last year but then I was called up. To have the opportunity to wear the stars and stripes, and play with some of the elite names in baseball, is just incredible” (USA Today).

Oakland A’s New

Ziegler

stadium delayed

The Oakland Athletics are reportedly delaying and possibly halting a move to Fremont because of opposition from residents who live near the team’s proposed stadium site. I like this, the A’s just need to spruce up the Colosseum and make it nicer, or just find a place in Oakland to build a new stadium. I will rant about the A’s owner soon enough, don’t worry.

That is about it for our favorite team. Just so you know, I’m working on a couple articles about the idiotic A’s owner Lew Wolff, and a new feature about A’s prospects. See you guys later
