Wednesday, September 15, 2004Angels on Oakland bullpenThe Pasedena Star-News (never heard of it before today) asks Angels relievers about their experiences in the Network Associates Coliseum bullpen in the aftermath of the Frankie Francisco chair-throwing incident: (via Pinto)
Angels relievers were anything but surprised that a major incident occurred near the visitor's bullpen area at Oakland's Coliseum. They have been taking abuse there for years.Well, that last part is true- Oakland fans do totally suck. I just don't know if that kind of comment is going to make things any easier for the Angels when they close-out the season with a three-gamer in Oakland. There was a lot of criticism of the Rangers (Buck Showalter specifically) for blaming the incident, in part, on a lack of security- a problem they claim was brought up with the Oakland front office on several occasions and was never acted upon. If this article is true, and the Angels have made similar complaints in the past, then I think we should see a fine for the Athletics here. They should bare some of the responsibility for not keeping their house in order. |
