Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson made it clear that he won't have the A's on his list of potential free-agent destinations this winter.

The lefty is slated to open a three-game series at Oakland on Friday night, and on Wednesday before the Rangers closed their homestand against the Mariners with a 4-3 loss, Wilson said he finds little to like about the team or its home on the east side of the Bay.

"I hate pitching there. The mound sucks, the fans suck. There's no fans there," Wilson said, free-flowing off a question about the ample foul territory at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. "It's too bad because the fans that are there are really adamant and they're really stoked on the team and they play drums and they wave flags and that's cool. But, you know, some games you go there and there's like 6,000 people there.
LMAO.

This is totally true. The amount of fair weather Rangers fans there are in Dallas is insane. You wouldn't believe how many "diehard Rangers fans" appeared during the playoffs last year. CJ has seen the half filled stadium when they sucked, I can't believe he would say something like this.
