Welcome to the 1910 Philadelphia Athletics Chatroom! |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: Gents, it pains me to concede that our beloved Philadelphia no longer has in its possession the necessities, nor the adequate brotherly love to maintain our club. |
|
oldring_to_find_them: Unheard of! Perhaps one of my friend Pat's new, patented "Philadelphia Style Cheesed Steaks" will change your mind! |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: No, Rube, stop being so unsophisticated. The move looms; city dangers continue to rise. |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: and, frankly, things just haven't been the same since Shibe Park was refurbished to accommodate football. |
|
JuddNelson: To which city will the Athletics relocate? New York? The other side of New York? A third part of New York. |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: California. |
|
oldring_to_find_them: WHAT?? You're moving us to California?? |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: Yes. Fremont, California. |
|
JuddNelson: can we stop in kansas city on the way there |
|
KingOfTheJews: We can't move to Fremont! All of my friends are here! I'll be so boooooored |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: That's impossible! In Fremont you can enjoy their moderately large lake, competent hillsides, and occasional high school jazz festivals! |
|
KingOfTheJews: oh godddd |
|
JuddNelson: This is nonsense, Mr. Mack. I've a right mind to tell you to bite my shiny Native American ass! |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: I am not going to spend even one more nickel on tarps to cover all the seats we can't fill. If we're going to have 20 people at the game we should at least have some expensive, nicer carpeting for the team higher-ups to enjoy. |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: So just stop complaining or I'm going to launch my flying silver Phantasm balls at you. |
|
JuddNelson: Come on, you grand old man, tell us the REAL reason we're moving. |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: All right, you've forced my hand. |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: Having captained this team, born and raised in this area of the city, I find it composing to participate in games of roundball outside of institutions of learning. |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: Before I knew it, a gaggle of roustabouts with clearly nefarious intentions showed up to make trouble in our neighbor-hood. |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: After an inconsequential squabble with the aforementioned, my Mother became frightened and insisted that the team migrate in the direction of my Auntie and Uncle. |
|
JuddNelson: I don't get it. |
|
ReturnOfTheMack: Don't worry, in 90 years Greg Maddux is going to find our situation to be quite hilarious. |
