On Thursday, the baseball world said goodbye to the baseball of the Oakland A’s at the Oakland Coliseum. While it was an extremely bittersweet day that ended with the Athletics securing a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers, fans of the Yellow and Green are now left without a baseball team to support and another team leaving Oakland.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the events of the day when Barry Zito sang the national anthem and manager Mark Kotsay gave a post-game speech to everyone in attendance. They then discuss what’s next for the A’s and all the uncertainty that still surrounds the franchise and their move to Sacramento.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about where things stand right now with the postseason picture, as well as the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers reaching their respective divisions, how the NL Wild Card could come down to the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves playing a doubleheader on Monday and we say goodbye to the Minnesota Twins’ chances of making the fall dance.
Jake and Jordan round out the episode with their picks for The Good, The Bad, and The Uggla, including the return of the Backyard Baseball video game, Ron Washington’s quotes about players in the Los Angeles Angels organization, and someone proposing during the Chicago White Sox game.
