I used to have season tickets to the A's. I'd take friends or family and it was always a fun way to spend the day, rooting on the team. Lately though, I rarely bother going to a game. This year I haven't even been yet. The reason? It seems I no longer have a team, just a bunch of guys I don't know and have hardly even heard of. Some say Billy is a genius, but what's happened over the years is that with all his trades, fans have gotten tired of going to the ballpark to watch some stranger cover first base, some stranger out in left field, some stranger on the mound...

Cant help but feel with all the trades that the A's or doing is all a plot to drive fans away. This has the old feeling like that movie major league where the owener rooted for the team to loose so they can move to a a new plush ballpark. Bottom line is billy keeps talking about the future, wasnt guys like Haren, Harden etc supposed to be our future? these guys are still in their early 20's, i just dont understand! mr wolfe just wants this team out of oakland so bad he would dilute The major league with minor leagures in order to drive ticket saleS down and fans away. SHAME ON U
