StAy ThursdAy/Update on “Occupy A’s FanFest” – 1/19/2012

Posted on January 19, 2012 by

Y’all know its that time again. Be sure to rock your “StAy” shirt or pro Oakland gear through out the day today!

Update on “Occupy A’s FanFest”:

Occupy A’s FanFest is being put on as a sign of A’s fans opposition to the proposed move of the Oakland Athletics to San Jose. The goal is to create a presence inside and outside of Oracle Arena on January 29th to show A’s ownership that we, the fans, say no to a move south and that we want the A’s to stAy in OAKLAND!

Things will kick off Saturday January 28th, with the return of the first Bleacher Bum FanFest Camp Out since 2008 at the corner of 66th Ave & Coliseum Way around 10:30 pm PST. Feel free to join us and bring pro Oakland signs to hang up during the night. You all ready know Jorge Leon will have his. Also feel free to bring a grill and/or things to grill. Click here to for more info.

From 10 am – 2 pm PST is when FanFest will take place. There will be a group inside showing support for keeping the team in Oakland as well as a group outside in the parking lot. We are asking all who come to wear ether the Oaklandish “StAy” t-shirt, A’s gear with OAKLAND on it or your own custom designed pro Oakland shirt as our sign of protest.

The final event of the day will be the Occupy FanFest Edition of A’s Fan Radio at the Bleacher Crew Tailgate Spot, located between A & D Gate in the parking lot. We will go over everything A’s related that goes down between now and FanFest as well as get your feed back on what actions need to be taken to keep the A’s in Oakland. This will also be our 1st show in front of a LIVE CROWD since the last show we did at La Estrellita Cafe And Bar in the summer of 2007 during the 1st running of AFR. The show will kick off around 2 pm PST.

We are also asking fans of the Oakland Raiders & Golden State Warriors to join us for this event. Remember, Oakland faces the chance of losing ALL 3 TEAMS NOW! Plans are in the works right now to hold a tailgate/rally event for fans of all 3 Oakland teams at City Hall to lite a fire under Oakland’s leadership to hurry up and get things crackin’ before its too late.

Hope to see you all there. Till then, stAy safe & keep up the fight to KEEP THE AS IN OAKLAND!

Lots to talk about this week, including guest host & long time AFR lister Mike Davie on the subject of the death of RDA and how it effects both the 2 sites in Oakland and the San Jose site, as well as our 2nd Sex & Sports: The Extended Edition, which will kick off about 10-15 minutes after the regular show wraps up.

Congratulations to SS Barry Larkin

Posted on January 9, 2012 by

We at AFR wish to congratulate long time Cincinnati Reds short stop Barry Larkin, who was the lone player voted in by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America for the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2012 this afternoon by receiving 86.4% of the vote. He is the 1st member of the Reds to be elected to the Hall since 2000 and played his entire 19-year career with his hometown team.

Larkin will be inducted on July 22 in Cooperstown along with the late Ron Santo, who breezed in with 15 votes from the 16-member Golden Era Committee that met at baseball’s winter meetings in December. Santo was a nine-time All-Star, hit 342 home runs, won five Gold Gloves and was a Cubs broadcaster for two decades. Also joining Larkin and Santo are FOX broadcaster and former catcher Tim McCarver, who in December won the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting excellence and Toronto Sun writer Bob Elliott, who has been named the 2012 J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner, presented annually by the BBWAA for meritorious contributions to baseball writing.

StAy ThursdAy / Boycott the GAP, Fairmount Hotel & Sainte Claire Hotel – 1/5/2012

Posted on January 5, 2012 by

Good morning OAKLAND Athletics fans!

Welcome to the first StAy ThursdAy of 2012. Y’all know the deal: make sure to sport ether the Oaklandish “StAy” shirt,  A’s gear with OAKLAND on it, or your own custom pro Oakland shirt. Link is provided to order the “StAy” shirt through the Oaklandish website.

We also want to remind everyone that Raider Rob & AFR are encouraging ALL A’s fans to boycott both the the Fairmount Hotel & the Sainte Claire Hotel, both of which are owned by “Collusion” Lew Wolff. Starting today, Cpl RF Asshole is asking A’s fans to boycott the GAP, which is owned by A’s majority owner John “I got cash, but sit on my ass like Ken Hofmann” Fisher. Let’s start hurting these bastards & their wallets.

Again, we need to start thinking outside of the box as we continue this fight to keep the A’s in Oakland, may it be by rallies, putting pressure on Oakland city officials, filing a collusion lawsuit or all of the above. This ownership needs to be made an example of so this not only never happens again in Oakland, but also so greedy owners of pro sports teams in the future across the country will know not to pull this crap that these two numb nuts are doing or they will face the wrath of their fans.
