Do you remember

Why?

A's fans know the drill. We bring in young, hot, and talented guys, we make it to the playoffs, then we trade those guys for even younger guys (and occasionally an older and more seasoned player), and the cycle continues. Every season, A's fans have something to be proud of. And although we are constantly ticked off by the announcement of another trade, we still come out and support

When we heard that the A's may move to San Jose, then it was the area near Great America, and then Fremont, not every Oakland fan was jumping for joy.

But the possibility of moving the A's outside of California? Give me a break.

Honestly, A's fans are like the victims of an abusive marriage. We keep taking the hits and the disappointment. We always come running back. We make their sandwiches when they ask us to, we come out to the not-as-nice-as-AT&T-park Coliseum, we eat your bland hot dogs, and we put up with all the high-profile trades. For chrissake, don't leave.

We forgive you for putting us through hell sometimes. So stay!

And work harder to get that BART station built!

I hella heart the Oakland A's.

Tree Huggers, Geologists, and Historians!

The cutting of trees at UC Berkeley commenced last Friday, despite months of protesting and protestors living in those trees. 

The tree cutting is supposed to make room for a new stadium (albeit to bring in more revenue for the school) despite the fact that it will be in close proximity to the Hayward Fault. Even worse, the area is home to a Native American burial ground. 

It is sad that UC Berkeley is determined to build this stadium.  Even the current stadium (that ginormous one where all the football games are played) shows damage from the Hayward Fault.
