If you don't like it, then get out of here

The crybaby owners of the Oakland A's have just been told by Bud Selig that he's not really that interested in bailing them out by paving the way to San Jose.

Normally, I find Seligula to be a total jerk but I'm in his corner on this issue. The Giants were smart enough to secure territorial rights to San Jose, so if Mr. Wolff thinks it's such a groovy idea, all he has to do is open his checkbook. Instead, he wants Bud and taxpayers to bail him out.

Bud suggested that he can move the A's elsewhere, which is just fine with me. The City of Oakland built a stadium in 1967 or so that had one advantage over The Stick -- it was next to BART. Other than that, it was fairly similar -- a lot of concrete, a lot of cold. Wolff has not done anything to improve the fan experience other than putting a decent team out there, thanks to Billy Beane. That used to be enough but it doesn't cut it when people have so many entertainment options.

I'm not saying that the A's are evil like the Dodgers. They're just vaguely embarrassing because the owner is a spoiled brat. Hey Mr. Wolff -- if you don't like it, then sell the team. Just stop whining, please. No one forced you to buy an MLB franchise.
