Laws, I ain't seen anything good come out of these turkeys in years, and this season looks like the worst yet. Heinkel promised, as he has before, to turn off the television and never watch the A's again. I'm just glad Gracie isn't around anymore to see this. I say we ship these guys off to Los Angeles or somewheres. Oakland Vice President and General Manager Bill Beane expressed panic at the idea.
Words can hurt.
We want to make Mr. Heinkel and all the residents of Oakland happy - we're just trying to find our rhythm. Heinkel was not impressed. Damnation, some horses gotta be dragged out in the street and shot. This isn't the first time Heinkel has expressed anger with the A's. In 1997, following a harrowing lost to the Detroit Tigers, Heinkel threw a beer across the kitchen, nearly hitting his dog, Snaps.
