Should I banish him?
It would be the shortest lifespan on my links list, but read the last line of this post and you be the judge. Ban him? Blacklist him by banning all sites that link to him? Go over to Iowa or New Jersey or whatever east-of-Lake-Tahoe state he hails from and rough him up, in the ancient manner of the Oakland fan (no, actually the ancient manner, or Ancient Manner as it is properly called, involves going to foreign cities and smashing things up regardless of the outcome of the game. Not a very organized bunch, we Oaklandites)?
Maybe this warning will suffice. I hope so, because I do not tolerate such gloating over "sweeping" the A's, unless it comes from the Giants' fans. At least that way it is kept in the Bay Area. Foreigners, on the other hand...
Anyway, I am still boycotting baseball for the month of June. Bah. Humbug.

Posted by: Erik Keilholtz at June 23, 2005 2:51 PMI mentioned the victim of that sweep only because the A's had the audacity to beat the Reds in '73 - so there was a measure of poetic justice, albeit very much delayed. One thing A's fans and Red's fans can agree on: the 70s were baseball nirvana for both.
