Evidently, someone involved with this "movement" actually went so far as to go to Oakland (though I don't think it went much further than that) and they are having an event in Philly on Saturday, September 18th.
Poor, misguided bastards who evidently don't understand the first thing about franchise territory rights, but "ballcks!" to that I say: I've always wanted a real rooting interest in American League baseball, and this here would give it to me. Why let a little thing like it's utter impossibility deter them? Go for it, I say!
hey!

I think the title of your original thread is apt. You posted that in the euphoria of the Oswalt trade. I doubt many people gave the post a second thought.
