What were your thoughts when XXXXX went away?

Oh man, sad but also Suzuki is rockin', like he's not sad, so I'm not that sad. I was a little sad, I mean that whole drum section in the bleachers in the Oakland A's that was for him. we have moved on and we are drumming for other people but that was for Suzuki. 

Have you gotten used to seeing your favorite A's players come and go? 

You know it's hard. At this point Coco is really the only one left for me. I've been an A's fan for seven years, well, a real A's fan for seven years, so Coco is really the only one left, so I think you have to get used to it. If you are an A's fan you have to get used to them coming and going that's the name of the game. 


What keeps you coming back? 

You know the A's are scrappy. They're scrappy and they're fun and A's fans are scrappy and fun and there's nothing better than that. 


If you ran into Billy Beane, what might you say?

Just keep doing that you're doing, what you're doing man. What are we going to say to him. He has a plan we know he has a plan. (Photo by MediaNews Group/Bay Area News via Getty Images)
