It can get worse?

And scorebugs too. What's their abbreviation? A's? ATH?

Or do we call them the Athletics Baseball Club (ABC)?

Surprised they didn't go with the Las Vegas Athletics of Sacramento.

The Sacramento, California Athletics of Las Vegas formerly of Oakland



Something I never noticed before (because I don't follow the As social media), they blocked comments on Twitter/X. As in, nobody can reply to any of their posts online. What a joke of a franchise. I wonder if it's even an employee of the As who even runs it or if the MLB took over, because it would definitely suck to have your job revolve around social media, meanwhile you're not allowed interacting with fans/the public and you know you're out of a job by the end of the season.

It's been that way since last year. IG too. I'm assuming they are the only team in sports to do that.

The not Oakland A's

Kinda like the Jays playing in Buffalo during the COVID year, except this time a global pandemic won't be the reason there's no fans.

that's legit not bad

I was wondering this, too, like they're the opposite of the Washington Football Team. ABC is a lot better than WFT
