So from my last post, you can tell that I’m a Matt Holliday fan.  The fact that the A’s got him is a perfect reason for me to finally root for the A’s.  Since I won’t root for the Giants, it finally gives me a team in the Bay area to root for.  The Angels will still be my top in that division, but go A’s.  Apparently they lost prospects, but Matt Holliday will sell tickets.  I heard it said, Offense sells tickets, Defense wins Championships.  Right now the A’s aren’t close to the World Series, so at least they will sell tickets.  I’ll go just to see Matt play.  Hopefully he’ll transition well to the American League.

The people who got jipped on this are the Rockies fans.  He was their star and he cost to much, so they had to trade him.  It’s too bad that the fans always get the shaft.  Until then – go A’s.
