I heading to the AL WC shortly. Don’t know more than a couple of players on either team.

And you have to watch baseball in that wretched mausoleum looking monstrosity. 

I thought in baseball we called them "quaint" and "landmarks" and "historic."

This is a contest between the teams with the two worst buildings in baseball.  Kind of a nightmare architecture World Series mise en abyme

Wrigley and Fenway yes,  Oakland and Tampa, no.

Depends where you sit.  The Coliseum actually isn't bad upstairs or in the bleachers.  Neither one has sewer issues, and in the latter you don't even have to look at Mount Davis.  And A's fans are a fun crowd.  They actually watch the game, unlike the panda hat wearing vegans across the bay.

Also, the A's team is pretty entertaining.  They're a weird looking crew, but both the lumber and defense are there.

You may know Luzardo.

And Neuse.  And Petit. And if he weren't hurt, Treinen.  And if they win, Roark will be on the playoff roster. 

Also, people somehow still seem unaware of who the corner Matts are.  They're both really, really good.

I'll be in a corporate suite, so likely with mostly people who are there for the food/drink. 

Just saw Roark didn't make the A's roster, but former Nat great Yusmeiro Petit did.

Even Oakland is gentrifying.  Last time I was there I barely recognised it as the same place that at one point had "Welcome to East Oakland, motherfreaker" sprayed over the Greyhound sign at the bus station

Somebody covered up your artwork?

The Oakland gates opened at 11am.  The crowd should be juiced by now. 

Max is pitching for the A’s?

I'm really glad we got the TBS crew

It does seem like a replay of last night

Why do you say that, Slate ?

Cus the ESPN crew sucks.

It's okay, the Duece has a Statcast Simulcast
