Trivia question: Who was the team the A's beat in their last ever game in Oakland?

One guess.

So will the fans go all Disco Night and tear the place apart?

Random thought: is it worth keeping Alex in an Astros uniform just to prevent him from possibly ending up in Seattle next year?

I betting some stuff will disappear. Oakland gonna Oakland.

Joking aside. It's sad they are leaving. Glad I got the chance to see a game there this year

If the Twins can win tonight they have a shot. KC goes to ATL and Atlanta will be desperate to win to stay in the NL WC hunt. KC could easily get swept.

But they have to win tonight. That keeps them 2 back. Lose and they are dormi.

Seattle only signs current players to big money deals (J-Rod, Castillo). They don't go out and get big free agents. They're looking to cut payroll after this season, so I can't see Alex ending up in Seattle.

I see him in Boston...he'll have to stop selling salsa and switch to clam chowdah.

Some interesting tidbits from an agent regarding our old friend Maldy. Take it with a grain of salt, but the tea is served.

of course he is, but it made me laugh. Wasn't there some story about how Maldy tried to haze the **** out of someone last year or the year before, and the player wasn't a fan?

Watching Yankees/Orioles on MLB Network. The knob schlobbing is on max display. I guess I need to get used to it with the postseason coming up.

Yankees and cole are chirping. Ball to Santander was high. Not by much but high. Cole and the catcher thought it was strike three and were both halfway to the dugout. Cole strikes him out swinging on the next pitch and stared down the ump all the way to the dugout.

Definitely sad because of the history. Really sucks for the fans. Also that song is what plays over our wedding video which my wife has never found out.

Boston and Bregman...

I don't know -- have to wonder about the Trevor Story effect

what a disaster that has been for the Red Sox.

Story remains under contract thru 2027 at $25 MM per

projected starters for the Royals vs. Atlanta this weekend

Friday - Singer
Saturday - Lugo
Sunday - Ragans

however the Twins are choking tonight

the Royals might be able to clinch by Saturday

KC's wildcard rotation could be Ragans, Wacha, and Lugo

the oilers were beloved in Houston and packed the Astrodome. The As averaged 11,000 fans per game this year which is last place in MLB by far. Even the CWS averaged 6k more fans a game and they lost 120+ games. The Oakland fans quit on their team and are showing love now because it's over.
Gig 'Em and God Bless

Fair point, I said "reminded me" of that situation. However, I bet if Bud let the team go like the A's they wouldn't pack the Dome every Sunday. We certainly weren't packing the Juice Box when the team was tanking.

Baltimore was losing 1-0 and pulled Burnes at 69 pitches, clearly to save him for the WC. It's now 10-0. Baltimore gave up the game intentionally.
