the City of SF owns AT&T -- not the Giants.

the Giants would hate this and oppose it like all heck - but the A's and baseball in the Bay Area would do better to fill that AT&T Park 162 games/ dates a year and share the ballpark.

A game at AT&T -- which is a fabulous ballpark -- would draw 25,000 a game for the A's easy.

Here, they're drawing 27,000 for OPENING DAY.

The Giants -- even with a poor record last season (and the roster certainly didn't reflect that lousy 2017 performance) sold AT&T out most games (45,000).

AT&T was the first ballpark build without public funds since the construction of Dodger Stadium. San Francisco Ballpark Associates LP received a $10 million tax rebate, however.

He went 0-5 twelve times and 0-6 twice last season.

You sure about that?

Skinny dude is dealing

[Taylor]

Game over.

[bloodbrother]

1B and LF the 2 biggest weaknesses defensively for the Halos

[disarcina]

eligbra4ever -- yeah - you are right about that --

but you probably know this -- it is the investor group that owns and runs the park and leases it to its major tenant - SF GIants. RIght?

anyway, A's need to move -- somewhere -- anywhere.  27,000 on Opening Day is pathetic.

Lazy Upton 

[nando714]

Why not just walk the bases loaded?

[Blarg]

Oh Noe Ramirez.

[Taylor]

I can't think of a single time the five-man infield actually worked. F'ing Scioscia.

[disarcina]

Juan Rivera still on the Angels roster playing LF ??

had a flashback moment there.

Sort of looked like GA drifting back for the ball........

The Astros 4 man outfield worked today 

[Blarg]

Pushed bunt right side wins it for the A's.

[Rollinghard]

Upton thought he was as smooth as GA

[disarcina]

what did they rule that Upton non-catch?  A triple?

There are a lot of things that win it for the A's, and very few things that don't.

[JarsOfClay]

Struggling mightily to beat the a's, not a good sign for the rest of the season.

[Angel97]

Horrible, play in left

 

[Erstad Grit]

I thought upton's defense last year sucked.  Narrative continues

[Angel97]

Same old Angels.

This is stupid.  I’ll let the Red Sox know they will suck all year as well.

Agreed.

Signed,

The Boston Red Sox (who lost to TB today after blowing a 4-0 lead)
