Hell of an Article (#2)

I disagree with you on a couple of things such as the A's new stadium, and the fact that umpires a refs are worthless. also, I definately disagree about not wanting to have Instant replay in Football. Instant replay is great, they are double chacking the referees, not trying to take over the game. but anyways, great article. I'm voting to the front page.

Thanks for the input guys.

Trevor - You make good points, but what about the whole baseball experience? When I go to watch my Fremont/Oakland A's in the future I want to watch a baseball game, not go shopping.

Ux - Yeah I understand how they 'double-check' the refs and all that I just like it better when all the calls are made by refs not by instant replay so that there are always some imperfections...that's just how it's always been I don't think it needed to change. I mean it makes the games more fair and all but without instant replay all the teams had that same disadvantage of the possibility of blown calls. Whatever though, I understand people approving of instant replay in football but I just really don't want to see it happen in baseball...thanks for the comments

I agree that the Oakland Coliseum had great character and I'll miss playing there. I think Cisco Field in the long run will make the A's a better franchise as it will allow them to expand the payroll from $75 million to about $90 million. That should help them keep guys like Nick Swisher, Rich Harden, and Danny Haren in an A's uniform for a long time.
