They're not? Are they going to keep playing with Mount Davis in the outfield?

The new managing owner has taken a pretty strong stand about keeping the A's in Oakland. Their marketing hashtag right now is #rootedinOakland. My best guess is that they're looking at the site nearest jack London square. They held fan fest this year there.

My hope though is that they just demolish the coliseum and erect a new baseball only field at the same location.

Thats the nice thing about baseball. Even the very worst team is going to win 1/3 of their games. Also, baseball is good.

Kershaw could be the best pitcher of all time. I recognize that (because the Giants are contractually obligated to face him once every time they play the Dodgers)

Trout can be Micky Mantle 2.0.

It's fine to have #2 on your team (except when he's surrounded with trash)

Plus only paying half the relocation fee. I've been saying it once the $750m got approved, Raiders were going, NFL wasn't going to pass that much public money up.

If that vote had happened ten years ago, they might have. The whole thing was such a mess that it got to the point of people who previously didn't have an opinion at all about the Chargers started to hate them.

However, gently caress the Spanos family.

Seeing how well Bowl Cut has worked the Vegas angle makes me glad the Spanos family is in their lovely tiny stadium in a market that is borderline hostile towards them.

The only question I could even have imagined throwing a wrench into the Raiders in Vegas with the deal on the table is the utter bullshit idea that the NFL doesn't like gambling.

So yeah, there was basically no doubt it was happening.

They could build the stadium with literal slave labor financed by regressive taxes and robbing money from education and he'd still find a way to valorize it as the apotheosis of Mark Davis.
