The fighting Billy Beaners live to fight on for 7 more years. Mike Crowley also got an extension.

 

Looks like the club is settling in for the long haul with the new stadium.

Fantastic news for the A's... bad news for those of us praying Cubs upper management would finally get a clue.

Q# 1) would Billy Beane do as well under the pressures of a top 5 payroll?

 

Q# 2) Will Beane ever get a world series win or will his cycle of develop and deal just continue on for all of eternity.

so he has to win a world series and the reason he hasn't so far is because he trades his prospects that failed to win him a world series?

At least he got a playoff series win that managed to get some people off his back.

he's only averaged about 93 wins and a playoff appearance every other year... boy i'd hate that

Smart move by Beane. He's done a great job there, and is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side.

Yeah, going to playoff games nearly every year totally sucks. I wish they would spread them out more, like the cubs do.

Yeah, someone from my family has been at every cubs home playoff game since 1945.

 

It would be a lot more expensive doing that out here.
