I'm not at all against alcohol awareness.

I think it’s really important. I worked in orientation for 4 years in college and it was a really integral part of our program (we did programming on many different issues). I just think it’s best done with people who are prepared to talk about it, and the processing of the information and presentation was always where people got the most out of it.

No, YOU miswrote his sentence.
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; no more; and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation devoutly to be wish’d. Kouz needs to stop check-swinging on hittable pitches. Either go around or don’t. To die, to sleep; to sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub; for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause.

I can’t tell if it’s nice of him to say it, or annoying that the Giants are considered a benchmark for US to live up to.

Let's look at the division races.
  • The Yankees and Rays are tied.
  • The Twins are 3.5 games up on the White Sox.
  • The Rangers are 8.5 games up on the A’s.
  • The Braves are three games up on the Phillies.
  • The Reds are four games up on the Cardinals.
  • The Padres are six games up on the Giants.

There’s not that much of a difference. The White Sox, Cardinals and Phillies all trail their division leader by three games in the loss column.

So I was just looking at the Rivercats website....

How is it that the Rivercats are effective at marketing and promoting and the A’s suck at it…The Rivercats are in a heated battle with Fresno for the division title..they had a huge rally on the Capitol Mall today, DInger the mascot was there…players and management went and they basically had a big rally to push the team to win the division, they even had supercuts there giving free rally mohawk haircuts…and thousands of people showed up..in the middle of the day in sweltering heat on a freakin work day!!

Why cant the A’s get this right, when there minor league team kicks there ass in promotions!

There is no A in OFFENSE!!

by wacchampions on Aug 26, 2010 9:48 PM PDT reply actions  

The Rivercats like the town that they're in and the people that live there, and the town likes them back because of it?

That’d be my guess. I was reading that Lew and Fischer and the A’s bought 2,000 tickets to the San Jose Jazz Festival for East San Jose folks that wouldn’t have been able to afford them.

…can someone come up with a SINGLE TIME they did something like that in Oakland?

I’ll be waiting for it, but until then, Wolff Lied, He Never Tried.

River Cats must know people can't really be excited for the competitive level of minor league baseball

At least in terms of winning/losing.

So the marketing drive is geared towards fan experience which is quite nice if you haven’t attended the old ballgame at Raley Field.
