The Oakland A's Visitors Broadcast Booth Has Been Taken Over By A Possum, Causing Visiting Announcers To Call Games From Another Booth That Is Directly Behind A Pole Because Of All The Possum Shit And Piss

Jesus Christ. What type of two bit operation would actually allow a furry little creature to completely body them in the paint to the point they had to change the way they worked?

Okay, to be fair to Barstool, a squirrel causing an internet company to lose its internet by chewing through the wires was in the early days before Peter Chernin dropped his big ol' fat wallet on the table to help us out. Now our internet sucks due to good old fashioned human incompetence (No offense, Pete).

Anyway back to the A's. After throwing flowers at Rob Manfred's feet for instituting the pitch clock and a bunch of other new rules that are indisputably making watching Major League Baseball a significantly better experience, it's nice to remind ourselves that he is still residing over a sport that is fatally flawed at its core for so many fans. 

The fact the A's can continue to host people at that dogshit stadium as MLB appears to wait out the lease for greener pastures in Vegas while also having an entire payroll that makes as much as Max Scherzer does in 2023 is completely fucked. Stuff like this is fun to say in a movie about a team that rode some great roster moves to a bunch of exciting playoff runs that ultimately came up short.

However still saying that 20+ years later without even an AL pennant while possum shit makes road broadcasters call games from behind a giant pole is, well, business as usual for the A's. But it's still a goddamn joke. Not that I'm blaming anybody in the A's organization for not wanting to mess with a possum since those motherfuckers are straight from a nightmare.

But I feel like it shouldn't be that hard to get a hippie from the Bay Area to remove this spawn of Satan.
