The Oakland A's are defined by failure. They never win...and no one comes. They are trying to move the franchise, so they can damage baseball in some other town. The New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies are successful. Baseball is not for socialists.

Add The Texas Rangers to the above. The Cards are on the cusp, The Giants single season wonders. The Tampa Rays on the other hand, actually and sort of succeed on a miniscule budget.

Barry, Your a baseball fan! Your in the right place. I like the Detroit Tigers and Scott is a (puke) Yankee fan.
