In the '70s 'til the early '90s, the A's were definitely more popular because they won and had the personalities. The ballpark and Barry Bonds changed all that. Barry Bonds is gone in ignominy, but a couple World Series trophies - and they still have that jewel of a ballpark. The A's need a ballpark - because they have the winning record and the personalities. If you can't built a team and marketing around young talent like Sonny Gray, Josh Donaldson and Yoenis Cespides, you gotta look for a problem. It's the Mausoleum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-5392333707359863122014-06-13T11:41:47.441-07:002014-06-13T11:41:47.441-07:00What?

I've seen this happen with many 'celebrities' in the local media over the years. I won't name names, but one of the local radio sportstalk folks who is rather good at what he does, but is also very lucky to be where he is, now acts as if he's some sort of 'oracle.' I would love to see some of these folks get 'bounced' out of a job once in awhile and be dealt a little humility.

Maybe it will help in the ratings but that weak signal is killing them. <br /><br />A's fans want a station with announcers that embrace their team and hate on the Giants like they do but you still need enough bodies in the seats and ears on the radio. Years of tarps, threatening to move, and (until their recent seasons) not keeping players has hurt their brand.<br /><br />The Giants might be more accessible too. Other than the great Ken Korach, I don't think I hear any of the Athletics announcers come on to the radio beyond the games to talk about the club. Especially Ray Fosse, whom has been there forever. They stick to the club and players but do they embrace the city? The fans? The community?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-77077201884472666642014-06-12T19:48:24.197-07:002014-06-12T19:48:24.197-07:00Lack of balanced reporting?
