WTF

Half of the team on DL, WTF!?

Losing more games after signing 4 FA, WTF!?

Moving all their games to digital cable 89 on Comcast that requires a $80 package, WTF!?

I'm only watching games delayed on MLB.TV now, and not watching that many games since I usually know the score before I can watch on MLB.TV. I've been a fan since 1989, but the A's are making it really difficult for me this year. Frustrated and don't know what to do.

I think AN should steal a page from myfootballclub.co.uk and purchase the A's:

They can’t be that expensive right now. We’ll stream all the games here and settle the problem of coverage once and for all. Nico can fire Geren, jasonthea can fire Beane, and I bet I could play SS. I can throw down two or three hundred bucks.

You had me at "Nico can fire Geren."

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

No kidding. Haven’t seen a game all year thanks to the Comcast move and maybe that’s for the best as my TV hasn’t had anything thrown at it.

Shit, ever drop $80 just going to a game and seeing it live?

I sucks to want to see a good product, on the cheap, and not get it. Imagine, though, that there are costs to providing a good product and that those costs must be covered by revenue. I know that this is a far fetched idea but just imagine if it were true.

The A's have revenue.

It just comes from other team’s fans.

Naturally, then, the other teams should be forced to share even more...

…even after the team turns the corner and becomes good again. Apparantly this will never happen as long as the worst-GM-hand-down is still mismanaging our favorite team. And once the Athletics become god and start turning more profits, the league can then change the revenue-sharing rules to accomadate thsi team.
