This does not come from a place of ill will or hate, I loved watching Oakland play all year, It's just a true shame they may never get the chance to build a team on a respectable budget or play in front of a packed house every night. Right now it's hard to bet against them moving to San Jose with the ownership group they have in place.
Still a great season, an amazing run we wil never see again with that many rookies, McCarthy is likely gone but the talent pool is deep with pitching.

I hope they move to San Jose, from the business (financial) data I have read, they could be quite competitive with a move to SJ. As for McCarthy, I think they bring him back. I have no inside info on that yet but likely within a week my 2 connections inside the A's org. will give some tidbits of info.
