The A's love playing the Tigers.

Tigers are in their head

 

[ooiron manoo]

Not of fan of these, simple hate with the added patch sufficed. Now you have these atrocities.

Gehrig's 'Luckiest man' speech remembered 75 years later


Hall of Fame first baseman Lou Gehrig spent 17 seasons with the New York Yankees until a degenerative nerve disorder called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), later commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, forced him to quit the game in 1939 at the age of 36. (The disease would later claim his life less than two years later.)

Gehrig, who held the record for most consecutive games played with 2,130 until Cal Ripken Jr. passed him on Sept. 6, 1985, will always be remembered for his heartbreaking "Luckiest Man" farewell speech at Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939.

With Friday marking the 75th anniversary, MLB.com, helping to raise funds and bring awareness to ALS, produced the below video of all 30 current MLB first basemen (and a cameo by Yankee Derek Jeter) reciting Gehrig's now-iconic oration. It was played at Yankee Stadium before New York hosted the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday afternoon.

Braves and Nats just won't lose right now. Nats have the Cubbies coming into town this weekend with the Shark, Hammel, and Arrieta throwing while the Braves get to feast some more on the D-Backs after getting done with the Mets.

Hope the A's get this stadium situation figured out. It's a shame for a talented club like that to play in such a ****hole.

 

[GreenNGold89]

The whole situation is a ******* joke.

7 in a row!!!!

Let's goooo

Did you see the Braves new pitcher Juan Jaime I like him hes a flame thrower 98mph with a kimbrel like curve. Braves on fire that La Stella play was nice.

Mets suck so bad they were saying theyre only 5 games back and now with the sweep theyre talking about competing next year they aren't going to be good for at least 5 years.

 

[proshares]

It's their own damn fault, they keep that ******* moron Collins managing and they expect to actually compete. I've never seen a guy do things that beg for his firing but still sitting on the bench.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Haven't watched a mets game in two weeks this season was a wash anyway. Trade colon n let those young arms pitch.

 

[jjs07]

He WOULD do something like this...

 

[mr marcus]

braves and nats win and lose at the same time 

 ......credit to atlanta though cause after losing all those arms I figured they were done 

 

[elpablo21]

We got some good young talent

I live in NY and all these Mets fans are so delusional... Irks me with the excuses they come up with

Lew Wolf threatens to move them f they don't get this lease extension. What a mess


Oakland is going to lose the A's / Raiders because of these morons on the jpa

 

[a55a5in11]

I will be pissed if the A's move. I went to a game in may and it was one of the most fun games I have been at.

 

[GreenNGold89]

If the A's leave Oakland, I hope the city loses all 3 sports teams.

Watch it turn into a third world country...

Warriors are already moving. It's most likely gonna be just the A's

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

It's been approved. A's have a 10 year lease

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Raiders will pursue Los Angeles with renewed fervor. The A's may inherit the Coliseum site all to themselves.

Funny how things turn out.

 

[madj55]

If they have the site all to themselves, can they build a new stadium on that property?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I imagine Wolff/Fisher would develop the land, yeah. It's a lot of property, and with the Raiders gone they could have their new stadium and all the hotels/shops they're wanting to build alongside it.
