Last ever night game at the Coliseum has just finished.
The last game the Athletics will play at the Coliseum is a day game (starting 1pm PDT, I believe) as the Athletics finish their season on the road in Seattle.

I was hoping we'd get a walk-off win in the final home series, and Jacob Wilson delivered in the first game. Hope they go out winners tomorrow too.

Congratulations to Brent Rooker, the first Silver Slugger award winner for the Athletics since Eric Chavez won a Silver Slugger award back in 2002.

According to reports examining the Las Vegas Stadium Authority records, the budget for the construction of the new stadium in Las Vegas to host the Athletics' home games has increased by $250 million, from $1.5 billion to $1.75 billion. The budget increase apparently has been caused by inflation and the addition of 70,000 square feet of ballpark features, including more clubs and suites, upgraded general admission spaces and player amenities. According to reports, the Vegas ballpark would be the first in the MLB to offer under-seat cooling.

The Athletics gave Severino a club record contract (and may need to add in excess $25 million) to avoid a grievance from the MLBPA.

Jomboy has a great take on the Oakland situation. Spending money about appeasing the mlbpa and owners over a non existent fan base
