Beane Joins Boob Wolff Whine Fest

In yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle Susan Slusser interviews Oakland Athletics General Manager, Billy Beane. Beane calls the Oakland Coliseum “dilapidated” and says at least one potential free agent hopeful characterizes the field in poor condition starting in August. To which whiny bitches is he talking? Ball players certainly seem spoiled these days, worrying about cosmetic issues. Are the poor things the subject of teasing by other teams? A few days previous Clay Wood, A's grounds keeper, says in an interview that the field looks bad, but does not play shoddy. And dilapidated? The place does not look as though it is falling apart ala Candlestick Park, which at one point has chunks of concrete falling. Billy Beane joins the Lew “Boob” Wolff whine fest and this is part of the recent lobbying efforts to denigrate the coliseum and advance the San Jose option. It is false.
