@SDuncovered I went in during a quiet time and offered him $10, saying what I'd done and I didn't know if it covered what I'd taken, but I wanted to try to make it right. He said nobody had ever done that and had me put it in the Red Cross can. After that we became friends.

@McAllisterDen You aren't defending masculinity. You're defending your support of a traditional male/female relationship that goes back to the 1950s. The sexuality of someone who criticized what you said is irrelevant and just you being spiteful because you lack the ability for a better reply.

MLB is so desperate to help John Fisher get to Las Vegas that instead of doing a proper project with a retractable-roof stadium, they're trying to push through what will probably be a small, domed piece of junk, a concept that's outdated. This whole #Athletics thing is pathetic.

In addition to being an embarrassment and making a mockery of MLB, John Fisher has put a glaring spotlight on the topic of public funding for stadiums. If MLB owners were hoping the precedent set by this relocation would make getting public funds easier they were dead wrong.

Hey @MLB you need to stop letting John Fisher and Dave Kaval ruin the #Athletics . They have no serious plan for Las Vegas. Give Vegas an expansion team. Make Fisher sell to a group that will build in Oakland and keep the team there. The league needs it. Fans will return then.

I know the #Athletics can't promise Oakland will get an expansion team if they move to Las Vegas. It doesn't change the end goal here. If MLB won't force John Fisher to sell and won't guarantee Oakland gets an expansion team, the A's should be told to kick rocks after 2024.
