I'll be there too...

…and another rec.

Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.

It's 6, you complete loon.

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
