  1. The #OaklandRoots soccer team is playing at the Oakland Coliseum tonight.

    That rusting decaying pile of concrete is where I truly learned to love sports. My #baseball team is gone from there now (asshole team owner John Fisher wanted more $$), but it's lovely to see the stadium in use.

    That "Let's Go Oakland" chant ringing in the stands is making me feel things, let me tell you.

  2. If you’ll be at the final A’s game today, come say hi down by the third base dugout! #sell #RootedInOakland

  3. I didn't only go to the big deal #Baseball games though.

    Some other highlights include so many games with friends, hanging out and having fun.

    I remember one game where I taught a little girl in the row in front of us how to do a high five, when she wasn't that into the baseball game. I hope her family forgave us for that!

    I remember a bunch of games where I chatted with the fans around us, enjoying the deeper discussions and the camaraderie.

    I remember the days when #RootedInOakland was a joyous commitment. Now it's all going away, all that loyalty and energy, due to the greed of the owner.

    I guess I'm a #Giants fan now.

    3/3

  4. @diygene Perhaps the City could adapt one of these for deer storage. #RootedInOakland

  5. My bride has headed out for the evening, so this Bay Area boy made an S.F. classic just for himself: Joe's Special, with ketchup (the only time catch up is allowable on eggs) and a little habanero hot sauce for the juicy, fruity flavor. (And a split-base martini, which goes perfectly with it.) #RootedInOakland

  6. I've sat with this for a while, and I've realized that I'm going to need to make a final pilgrimage to the Coliseum at some point. I need to say goodbye to that team in that place.

    Weird, sad day.

  7. I found out today that yesterday was the last ever A’s game I will attend because they’re officially going to #vegas.

    Utterly disgraceful — from #MLB brass down to Fisher and his goon Kaval. We all saw this coming from a mile away anyhow — #RootedInOakland was such bullshit. And yet I am still sad and angry.

    The Coliseum was not pretty but it had personality. The tickets were #affordable and it has divey character. It had #publictransit to get fans there without a car. More diversity than I've seen at most other ballparks.

    Farewell to the last dive bar in the MLB.

    Baseball should be #democratic not #plutocratic. #Athletics #baseball #lovethecoliseum
