I don't really...Kyle, thanks for your comment.<br /><br />I don't really dislike the A's, I just dislike a large swathe of their fans, and thus I have no problem inflicting pain on them via their team. The A's I follow because they are local and I'm just into sports. I would not miss them if they go, but I'm OK if they stay, as long, that is, they pony up the money (>$100M) to move to San Jose.<br /><br />Their dominance of the Giants have gone on for a long while in the season series, it was more even lately, but they have been a thorn in the Giants sides for a long while now.<br /><br />So I wouldn't be sad if the A's moved and their fans would join the Raiders' fans in crying in their beers (only matter of time, I think, Al Davis is crazy and greedy, and looks to live forever it seems).obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-19792545562818407402011-06-20T08:02:28.004-07:002011-06-20T08:02:28.004-07:00Yeah, to say the least!

I've never, ever gotten over the feeling that the A's are imposters. I hated to see htem move in and they clearly hurt the Giants franchise for a long time by diluting the fan base.<br /><br />As bad as the Coliseum is, it's more comfortable than Candlestick was. It was also closer and easier to get to for fans from the East Bay suberbs so that siphoned off a huge chunk of the Giants fan base.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-29437680475135081612011-06-17T19:08:45.139-07:002011-06-17T19:08:45.139-07:00You know, I've never really had a reason to di...You know, I've never really had a reason to dislike the A's. It was hard not to like them when they had the Big 3 with Mulder, Hudson, and screwup. Tejada, Giambi, Chavez, Damon, Dye, Byrnes... that was a fun team. But otherwise, I've never been overly excited about them. And it's really bothered me how well they'd shut us down in the past few years in head to heads. But those days seem to be over. <br /><br />How nice would a sweep be right now? Double-digits over .500... wow!Kyle Goingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413212266522029605noreply@blogger.com
