I heard that Portland really wants a team, and the Expo's will probably stay out East.

While watching the A's vs. White Sox on Saturday, I just started thinking about it. The Giants are pretty big in the Bay Area, easilly the dominant team there. I'm not sure the A's even fill that huge stadium in the playoffs, they obviously aren't generating enough money since in the past four years they have lost Jason Isringhausen, Johnny Damon, Jason Giambi, Miguel Tejada, Ramon Martinez to name a few. I doubt they will be getting their own stadium any time soon.

Can somebody who lives in the area tell me if losing the A's and just having the Giants would really be devastating? As usual I don't really know anything about the situation in the area, but thats what it seems like from the far out perspective.
