The Twins rarely cross my radar anyway, so the pun didn't register.

Not going to lie, I didn’t put Guardians for AL Central when I made my real picks. Used that name I’m not supposed to use anymore.

As an OAKLAND A’s fan and someone with a masters in sports management that isn’t used anymore, the train wreck that is the A’s stadium plans are far more interesting than the actual season

My husband periodically (well, pretty often, actually) goes on rants about the Oakland A's and the stadium and BART's right there and it's so easy to get to and the fans were so supportive and management are such (fill in blank) and so forth.

The cat now leaves the room when he says "Oakland."

I always liked the team, although I couldn't get past the clown suit uniforms.

Love the walkway from BART to the stadium. People playing drums, great hot dog carts and just an Oakland scene.

Oh, and I just noticed you ripped on the Unis? Some of the best in all of sports.

Well, you definitely don't get them confused with the other team! I just don't light like bright green and bright yellow together.

Was there some story regarding the choice of colors? That was pretty out there, back in the day.

Don’t know, but Charlie O’ Finley was unique, so I assume that had something to do with it.

Well, just when I was thinking that you’re an awesome person. Poop

This is mostly correct. The KC A’s broke the color barrier in uniforms because Finley wanted something unique. And thus, chose Kelly green and gold.

How fitting the A’s will be playing at a AAA park in Sactown the next few years since they have been a minor league team for a few years.

Really? They're in Sac now?! Wow, lol

We were in the northern end of East Bay (Point Richmond), and it was still almost a two hour's drive each way to Sac. Gotta be longer from Oakland, and imagine from San Jose or SF. Yikes.

Everybody's in the hotdog line.

That was about an hour and a half before first pitch.
