Things got awkward for the Oakland Athletics on Sunday when they had to take a plane adorned with the logo and colors of their Bay Area rivals.

The A’s, of course, have a Bay Area rivalry with the San Francisco Giants, who have had considerably more recent success. Most people would argue that they have a better team and a better stadium, and for reasons unclear, they had to take a Giants plane back to Oakland after their series in Seattle.

The rivalry is real. Hard to blame them for not being a fan of the travel arrangement.

Hey, at least they get to go home to a nice park… or not. Sorry, Oakland. Better luck with the plane situation next time.
