"Carter's 25-game hitting streak isn't any normal streak. He's 46 for 97 (.474 average) during the run, adding 16 walks and compiling 81 total bases in the process. I'm out of superlatives for what he's doing." - Kevin Goldstein

I said in the last thread, but I’ll say it again ‘cause it’s fun. Cahill has a 2.41 ERA and 0.61 WHIP in his last 17 starts. That’s everything besides his first start.

It's useful, definitely,

but it’s just not all that great at showing actual talent. Worse than ERA, in some aspects.

Yeah, that should 0.96 and not 0.61. I fixed that error in the thread.

The thing I worry about it IF they wait til spring it just delays things that much more....where if they allowed the vote MLB would know which way the wind blows in SJ.

ON the other hand….if the voters decline then MLB is in a world of hurt if there is not another site. One person talking about it today said MLB would never pay for the vote and they interpreted it as the committee leaning toward a site in JLS. They do not want to show their hand. And I guess Selig recently said – territorial rights will be upheld! hmmmmmmmm

veddy innaresting

It’s more up in the air than I think it comes across, with SJ being in a position where they feel to be the frontrunner and get the team they have to be super-aggressive and out-front with every move they make on it, from the parking garage for the Sharks (which takes care of the runoff when there’s baseball and hockey going on simultaneously) to the special election ballot measure and when it will actually get voted on. So their successes and failures in it as well as their failures are going to be more talked about and discussed and observable given their need for aggressiveness as a suitor.

Wild card in all of this is that the mayor of Oakland is a notorious back-roomer who almost never attempts publicity behind everything he does… this is shaped by his 27 years as Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee in the Congress of the United States, with his hands on the pursestrings of the largest military budget in human history and all the Nat’l Security implications that carries. So it’s a bit like Beane’s moves, you just never know what Dellums is up to because most of his power playing takes place out of the spotlight in classic backroom politician mode.

I’ve thought all along that he is in the game and hard at work on the whole issue with MLB in private, so I wouldn’t count Oakland out of the running until a shovel goes into the San Jose ground. Which is not to say that SJ still isn’t the frontrunner, because I think we’d all agree they are.

it can look that way

but I have it on good sources, as someone who’s known about Dellums for 15 years dating back to stuff in Congress not relevant to the A’s situation, that he hasn’t, regardless of the appearances. In fact, RVD is kind of notorious politically for this type of approach, where he appears to be asleep at the wheel but is in fact deep in the game and playing to win.

Not to start more Oak-vs-SJ shit because I don’t wanna do that, I am starting to think that the committee reached a conclusion not favorable to Selig’s plans months ago and they just aren’t saying what the conclusion was. But I could be wrong because I have zero insider info on MLB internal machinations.

What in your mind would be a conclusion not favorable to Selig's plans

That would still tie in Oakland like this but keep Selig from wanting to allow SJ to press forward?

Choosy Feebas choose Leopold Bloom nipples

by DMOAS on Jul 28, 2010 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

I have thought all along

that Selig’s priority, as a former owner with an owner’s mindset, is hooked on prospective season ticket holders, which he must feel (based on past performance) is more favorable down in SJ with all the corporate money and computer dollars to be potential season-box people.

I dunno what sort of relationship, if any, Selig has with Dellums, who as i said is notorious for the shush-mouth backroom approach anyway so he is ultra-inscrutable on things, which causes the press to be against him cuz they dig headline-generators with loose flappy lips like Jerry Brown who are always there to supply them with newspaper-selling headlines. Dellums is very much the opposite of this approach historically and IMO this has worked against him to this point although it is looking like he might have some pretty good coals in the fire for Oakland all along.

I think based on Selig’s earlier comments that “it was a mistake for the A’s to move to Oakland from KC” that he is all about that SJ money and that is the principal reason why he conscripted his frat pal Wolff to take over the team instead of a Reggie J ownership group which would’ve leaned towards Oakland. Bottom line (BOTTOM LINE!) is that in this economy it’s going to be harder to move the A’s to a place that has never had a baseball team and for which more transit options will have to be built to further connect SJ with up here…. add to that the Giants’ lawyers making trouble and threatening to get their sponsors (which are many) to sue MLB and the A’s and in all honesty and with all partisanship put aside I think we’re beginning to see a shift in favor of the A’s moving as close to where they are now as possible, which means a ballpark in Jack London Square.

Hmm...

I guess that follows. I’m just not convinced Selig is lying about not wanting to play the territory card. I also don’t see the SJ mayor being all that appeased by hearing any of that nor the SJ promotion group. Seems more in line with it being suggested that SJ is the way to go and now Selig has to figure out how he’s going to go about making that happen internally knowing that the Giants are going to balk at it. If that’s the case, he may be secretly hoping that Oakland, given just a little more time, would be able to create something.

I think MLB is terrified of being sued by multiple sponsors of the Giants

The Giants themselves, if I have this right, can’t themselves sue due to the anti-trust exemption granted to MLB eons ago but their sponsors can and I’d bet Neukom is rallying them right now to do just that, which would mean a LOT of litigation on multiple fromts vs. some powerful corporations for MLB, which I think is scaring them and making Selig sorta throw up his hands at this point.

I could be wrong though and like all of us I just would die if the A’s ended up out of the Bay Area… so although I’d of course prefer JLS (I could walk there and it’d do wonders for the city of Oakland which I truly adore) SJ is by no means an unattractive option.

I don’t think they have a leg to stand on, but that doesn’t really make a difference. It’s still a huge, huge headache that’s going to take a lot of time and effort to deal with. But either way, it could conceivably put their anti-trust exemption to the test because SJ may very well sue MLB for not allowing them the chance at the team. And SJ has a much better case as a separate entity trying to get a team than sponsors who haven’t actually lost anything yet and may never lose anything.

They also have to balance which one’s they’re likely to lose, what those costs will be verses what will they’ll gain. It’s an ugly mess. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense it’s taken 16 months. If it was clear Oakland was the place, it really would have been an open and shut deal.

OTOH, I am sure that they know that long term

SJ is likely to make more money. I mean, I would love Oakland, but the $500K commitment they have for suites is a joke. I bet the top sponsor at AT&T has that much for one box.

Anyway, I think when the vote is brought to the owners, the operative terms are going to be “where are the A’s going to make the most money so we don’t have to keep paying their poor asses?” I imagine no one has the stomach to continue to pay the A’s for the foreseeable future.

I assume that this is exactly the scenario that they are trying to avoid: a stadium built somewhere that cannot support it. You have to honestly wonder about the future of the PIrates. The O’s will eventually not suck and people have gone out there in droves. But, the Pirates are in a hockey and football town. I don’t even think in 1992 they burned up attendance out there.

But I do know we are getting some healthy revenue-sharing checks from the richer teams. And I bet, given the choice of a) paying the Giants once for maybe 4 times that and b) contraction and lawsuits and a massive payout or c) new stadium in a new richer locale, that they’ll choose c)

he did a killer job with community policing

crime’s gone down since he took office in Oaland, a fact that gets overlooked too easily.. Unfortunately the budget shortfall and the concurrent layoff of all those cops may drive the numbers back up, but RVD has done a very good job with the police and crime issues, which are so difficult because of the decades of mythmaking around what Oakland is and so forth, it’s a notoriously tough nut to crack and his policies have done a lot to start cracking it.

Damn.

Anderson and Cahill have succeeded beyond anybody’s lofty expectations. Remember two years ago, when everybody was talking about the three teams who had two ace-upside SP prospects?

SFG: Bumgarner and Alderson
TEX: Feliz and Holland
OAK: Anderson and Cahill

Bumgarner is now SF’s fifth starter and Alderson is in Pittsburgh, in exchange for Freddy Sanchez. Feliz is only a closer. Holland is in AAA.

Yeah I put up a poll on Sickles site

for Anderson/Cahill vs Bumb/Alderson. I think the SF guy won a close vote.

There were actually still four people that had more time than me. Dennis had 34, Jay had 22 and some dude I don’t know had 24. I guess that’s only three…

If Owens behaves like he did with Buffalo, the Bengals have three pretty damn good wide receivers. If everyone can shut up and play football or at least not get angry when they only catch two passes in a game, they’ll be fine.

I don’t imagine Bryant being a problem. Heck, with his knee, he may only play five games. I think Ochocinco will be fine because he wants to win. Owens is definitely the guy to watch out for. Again, if he behaves like he showed he could in Buffalo, this experiment should work out well. Are they better than the Ravens? No, but they should be battling for the fifth or sixth seed in the AFC with the Patriots, Dolphins and Texans. I think it’ll be those four teams fighting for two spots.

It’s Ohio State against Miami (Fla.) on the first Saturday of the season. That means Terrelle Pryor leads his Buckeyes against Jacory Harris and his Hurricanes. They’re both Heisman candidates and two of my favorite quarterbacks in college football. Pryor may even go in the top five in April.

Only if the Raiders have a top five pick.

He’s a mediocre QB.

Sadly Harris has a noodle arm otherwise he’d have a shot at being a good NFL QB.

Pryor could be a top five pick. He’s going to be a junior this year. I think he has the potential to be more than just a great runner. He did pretty damn good in the Rose Bowl. A performance like that is what I expect out of him this season.
