Such a punchable face and mouth.
What a mouthpiece for the game.

And here is the rebuttal from the Oakland mayor's office. Seems like a valid point, that the A's set the bar much lower for Las Vegas to relocate than they did for Oakland to stay.

Manfred's always on the wrong side of things but gotta respect the sheer density of his pettiness at least a little bit.

Yeah, that was in the same thread I posted.
Not great.
Also, in general, I'm not siding with billionaire sports team owners in these cases.

Why does every sport commissioner have to be such a POS?

Because they are hired solely to do the bidding of 30 billionaires who only care about making more money while stroking their egos because they own a professional sports franchise.

Teams need someone that despises the fans even more than the owners do.

Look at it this way, the last commissioner that didn’t think it was his job to make the owners happy was Fay Vincent. He was fired.

A's gave Miguel Cabrera a $90 bottle of wine for his retirement gift. He's a recovering alcoholic.

The A's are cheap and clueless.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Not only an inappropriate gift, but one that clearly was a result of zero thought and planning. Did the A's send someone to the liquor store when they saw Miggy taking batting practice?

How long before they're playing in a half-empty stadium in Vegas?

Yeah unless the team is sold, it's still the same pos owner.
