Oak A's Botch Gift to Cabrera...

[Dave Borton]

"The Oakland Athletics are arguably the laughingstock of baseball, and the team’s latest misstep has reenergized feelings of disdain and disbelief, even from longtime fans. 

When Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera came to the Coliseum on Thursday, the A’s gifted  the World Series MVP a signed, bottle of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Caymus Vineyards, one of the most mass-produced wine brands in America....

What’s worse is the gift comes off as problematic and insensitive. Cabrera publicly struggled with alcoholism in the past. Last year, he celebrated 3,000 hits with nonalcoholic Champagne...."

A's can't get anything straight this year except Interstate 5 to Vegas.
