Well, here I am, BoMel's faithful supporter. This is a conflicting time period for me. I really love the Oakland Athletics, or at least the idea of them that roams in the ether of my memories nowadays. And on the other hand, I've never liked the Giants. There's nothing worthwhile for him to return to in Oakland, but he's as close as he can get. He's managing for my least favorite team, but I can't turn my back on him.

I find joy in the fact that Pinder will be reunited with a trusted manager, and most of all that SuSluss will be able to get some great quotes. I'm still processing the news, but I think I'll be okay. I might even disregard the horrendous Halloween colored uniforms to watch for a smile to creep up on his face. Welcome home to the Bay, Bob.
