It's not gonna happen. And they won't move to Santa Cruz or San Jose or any of the other places that have been talked about. Bud Selig does this to every team, most recently the Royals in like 95.

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.

Move KC to the NL and Milwaukee to the AL. It would really make a lot of sense because there is really no heat between other teams for us because the closest one is Chicago and thats 7-8 hour drive. When we played Milwaukee people actually traveled, and its two hours from White Sox. Kansas City and St. Louis is self explanitory.

Joe Mauer is easily one of the most talented rookies this year, him and Bobby Crosby, but nobody in Minnesota is willing to admit this yet, he is injury prone. He already missed a lot of the first half for some random injury and now his knee is injured again, he may have to go on the DL. I'm gonna be pissed if Mauer turns out to be one of those guys who can never play a full season.

Also, WTF at Mulholland only allowing 2 hits into the 5th?

KoOS, you are seriously a moron. The Cubs have been injury-plagued all year and are still only 2 games back of the Wild Card. Sosa, Alou, Ramirez, Grudzielanek, Wood, Prior, etc have all been injured. The Cardinals have faced no significant injuries. If being 2 games back of the Wild Card when you haven't been healthy constitutes as "choking" then I guess you're right. Keep replying to sports topics with "LOL" thogh, it makes you look smart.

Holy shit anyone watching Toronto and Oakland? Both teams #5 starters on the mound, Dave Bush throws 8 innings of scoreless 1-hit ball and Rich Harden throws 8 2/3 of scoreless 2-hit ball. Going into the 12th tied at 0.

ESPN is reporting that the Yankees have offered the D'backs a package that includes Jorge Posada in exchange for Johnson. WTF are they nuts? If I were the Yanks I'd offer Giambi, he sucks and Tony Clark has played better with much less playing time.

Too bad for the Jays in that one. Lost 1-0...

Halladay on the mend again for the second time this year, they really need someone else to step up. Batista is doing ok, but he tends to throw a few bad pitches in a row, putting himself in a terrible fix.

Yeah, I kind of expected Redman to pitch the way he has been pitching this year. It's hard when you walk on to a staff like the Oakland A's, who IMO, have the best 5 man rotation in the whole league. He probably put a lot of pressure on himself and who could blame him with the other guys he's pitching with. I think that's happening to Zito too. He's trying too hard. I think if Zito were on say the Royals or something, he would have way more wins right now.
