Funk, be reasonable. Let's compromise: the Giants get the Silicon Valley billionaires and the A's can keep their monopoly on the East Bay. Seems like a win-win for everyone!Originally Posted by mpfunk

You only have the San Jose territorial rights because of a historical accident by the A's. They gave their split rights to the Giants were looking at moving out of the Bay area. When the Giants didn't move, the rights didn't get transferred back. Despite this, the Giants act like those rights have always been there and are essential to their brand. Bud Selig has basically allowed the A's franchise to be slowly bled to death over this historical accident. I'm frustrated as all hell about the A's stadium situation. It needs to be fixed and Bud Selig's committee to investigate this that has taken years now is ridiculous. Give the rights to the A's and let them move. San Jose wants them and the A's want to be there.
So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
