So, someone realized that they would be sitting in the front row of a deck at the Colliseum. And they decided to bring a banner to that game. And they went and bought a bedsheet and yellow paint, and spent probably two or three hours meticulously painting this bedsheet. What phrase could possibly be worthy of such meticulous planning and valiant effort?
"Toledo!"
This is right up there with the most hilariously dumb sign I've ever seen anyone bring to a baseball game. Opening day 2006, Yankees at A's... ESPN pans the crowd and finds a guy with a bright yellow sign that reads in bold black letters: Let's Do This! I can only imagine what else bounces around in that guy's head.
1 And yes, I realize the whole Bill King connection... but it's stil only half the phrase. I mean, are those fans suggesting that the 2006 Athletics are only capable of secular acts of Toledo, and not holy ones?
Chapter the Thriteenth: In which the Athletics move briefly to Ohio, only to return to Northern California ashamed and slightly disoriented, thereby arriving in Fremont rather than Oakland.
Given that the Mudhens have just won back to back Govenor's Cups for the IL championship, I'll say no thanks to the A's
($8 tickets - for every seat and $6 32 oz. beers, something you don't see with ML teams.)
Which staggeringly handsome guy are you referring to? The shirtless guy staring dazedly into the distance? The guy to his right, seated, legs spread wide open, chowing down on ice cream? The fellow of the rather large carriage applauding?

Because I think I'm in the shot.
I will presume that the fans are cheering Eric Chavez's 16th homer of the year.
