The Oakland Athletics’ social media team thought it had an easy win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, but it turned out to be less simple than that.


I don't have a Twitter account so I can't open either the Athletics tweet or the Pirates response in the link you posted.  Can you tell me what both said?  Thanks.




I don't have twitter either, when I read the article the videos on twitter opened after a slight delay.




Thanks. I'll try again. Guess I was too impatient.

I'm convinced Vegas will get a MLB team. I'm also convinced that if the Pirate organization continue's to remain on the path they are on the fan base will be a joke and regardless of the lease they will move out of the Burgh. If the BUCS could just have 1 really decent season it could get the young people back into them. I'm guessing the Steelers/Penguins are what the younger generation in Pittsburgh follow way more then the Pirates. I don't live there so it's just a guess but I know in my family there are only 2 of us who love the Pirates and we both were raised on great Pirate teams.


Go back and look at attendance in the 70s etc.  I don't think they'll burn the lease.
