Those two who thumbs down the post must have not tried to get tickets. I dumped 500 on SRO in 2010 for game one.

Brian-sad to say, I had to look that one up .

Appropriate, but obscure, at least for me.

Anyway, have you seen how Jenkins in the Chron is already bludgeoning Wolff/Fisher for doing nothing to capitalize on the good 2012. From his article yesterday:

“(Roger) Craig single-handedly changed the mind-set of a franchise in the mid-1980s, and if A’s owners Lew Wolff and John Fisher had even a hint of creativity, they’d be working on a change-the-mood marketing plan for their treasured team right now. (Thrill, instead, to the sight of them doing nothing.)”

It’s good to see them take heat from the local scribes.That needs to increase.

Much to learn they still have. Does that mean we should start referring to Wolff as Count Dooku?

Craig – there’s a reason that so many Americans who have left this planet (astronauts) came from the same place. The reason is Ohio. You should take note and make the move to California. Plus when Mookie goes to college out here you would be paying in-state rates. just sayin

eh ticket prices in sf are actually down quite a bit compared to 2010.

Painful, that headline. The beloved A’s got a sniff, but their owners have much to learn about moving a franchise to the top tier, like SF has done.

Craig: Please sit in the seats. Its annoying (mildly in the grand scheme of things) to see empty media seats at a sold out event.

By “see some sights” you clearly mean “go steal the luxury box candy,” right?
