We occasionally get to have a different definition of "news" here on the Morning Buzz page. As such, it was determined that this is the proper place to address events of recent days on the A's stadium front: whole lotta, maybe not nothin', but probably not quite somethin' either.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, baseball Commissioner Bud Selig met with Giants managing partner William Neukom and President Larry Baer on Sunday in Arizona and, Baer said, hinted that he would protect the Giants' territorial rights to San Jose.
"From what we could tell, there is no change in his position," Baer said.
Didn't exactly set off panic with A's boss Lew Wolff, who seems to be down to one option after pulling out of Fremont talks and giving Oakland the back of his hand, or San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed.
"I wasn't at that meeting," Wolff told the Mercury News' Denis Theriault, adding that he was in Arizona and busy watching the game.
Said Reed: "This is truly a very inside baseball kind of thing, and it's impossible to tell from the outside what's going on. We're just getting ready to get in the game."
In other words, plans continue apace for that City Council meeting April 7, as long as Reed can maintain his reserve of baseball-related metaphors without accidentally throwing in a stray March Madness reference.
