Oakland Is Getting a New Baseball Field

Located in Fremont, California, the Athletics may turn into the Fremont A's to get out of Oakland. Details about the new stadium can be found here.

Pink Bats

Across Major League Baseball on Mother's Day, pink bats are being used! Here at John McDonald's Cabinet, we will sift through dozens of highlights to find the pink bat play of the day and night for today!

For every hit, a certain amount is donated towards Breast Cancer Research. Mothers are special, and I hope the league hits plenty.

The Blue Jays Can Go for Another Series Win!

I'm so excited for Tuesday's Halladay-Burnett matchup, as well as A-ROD booing, but we've got a game to win, boys!

Brett Cecil takes on Dallas Braden. The last time the Jays faced Braden, Ricky Romero turned in seven shutout innings, and the Blue Jays beat Braden and the A's by a score of 1-0. It's the only 1-0 game of the season the Blue Jays have played.

Can Cecil, a great new shining lefty, emulate the amazing Romero? Find out at 4:00 on SPORTSNET where they broadcast live from the third worst stadium in baseball, the McAfee Coliseum.

Brett Cecil is apparently a Washington Capitals fan, so, for all of you odd and even betters out there, he might be slightly dismayed at the fact that the Washington Capitals have lost three straight games to Pittsburgh and now trail 3-2 in the series. But maybe he'll take out his rage on those awful green, yellow, and grey A's.

The Coliseum in Oakland

I just hate that stadium! The foul ground is ridiculous. The walls make it difficult to hit home runs. It's a pitchers park. I would never go to see a baseball game in Oakland.

Oakland Uniforms

They just keep getting uglier; they seem to be the dirt bags of Major League Baseball.

Whenever I see Oakland's grey road jersey, I think to myself, "Eww, we're playing Oakland."

I know Oakland used to be amazing with Rickey, who stared into a mirror and told himself that he was the best, but I have always struggled to realize the pedigree of Oakland. There is no value in the franchise to me.

Jose Canseco became a muscleman; Mark McGwire, too. You have to wonder if Rickey also took steroids, because, by 1993, he was a Toronto Blue Jay and he looked jacked. Canseco was the expert at steroids, too. But I guess he was in an era of baseball where base-stealers were rampant, such as him and Tim Raines, who used to play for Montreal in the Expos' glory years. Raines' problem was that he loved his cocaine when he was first coming up.

Back to Oakland, though: It's just like the Golden State Warriors—where they based? It was only recently during their trip to the 2008 NBA playoffs after years and years of futility that was I finally able to realize they were from Oakland—I should have guessed.

So, Blue Jays, let's smash this team and then embarrass the Yankees in the biggest series of the season starting Tuesday.
