The Oakland Athletics are supposed to play a baseball game against the Twins Saturday afternoon, but there's a problem. A recurring problem. A recurring poop problem. It's known that Oakland Coliseum has issues, and not just bathroom locksmithery issues. The sewage system is in shambles, and when it rains, it pours. Poop. Poopwater comes out of the sewers. (Note for non-homeowners: poopwater is supposed to go into a sewer). It's all happening:
Yes there is sewage flooding the #Athletics coaches' bathroom this morning. Not in the coaches' room. Many jokes from coaches. #Athletics

VP of baseball operations David Rinetti says that rain is to blame for the sewage issue this morning. #Athletics

OK, the coaches' room might be in peril soon. They're asking about sandbags. #Athletics

Sandbags! It's a poonami!
Mike Gallego just walked by me, shaking his head, and said, "It's bad." Kurt Suzuki is yelling sewage coming out of faucets now. #Athletics
