Reporter, photographer, editor, graphic artist and sometimes engineer, fused into one body. No wonder the X-rays look so funny. I work for @nbcbayarea.
- Firefighting foam released from back of @FlySJC hangar is blowing around in the wind. It looks like soap, but I wouldn't advise touching it.
00:00 - Replying to @adrianmg111PETA is arguing a monkey holds the copyright to a photo published by a nature photographer. The monkey pushed the button to take the pic.
- Die hard Oakland baseball fans want to see the @Athletics stay #RootedInOakland — and they told me all the reasons why. After the A's signed a binding agreement for land in Las Vegas, fans made signs and T-shirts, and marched on the Coliseum. Watch more: nbcbay.com/F8Z3Kez
00:00 - The Coliseum was packed. "Stay in Oakland!" and "#SellTheTeam!" echoed off the walls, led by @Athletics fans like @AsHotDog & @AnsonCasanares. Vegas or not, the #OAKtogether reverse boycott was electric and historic. Here's what it was like to be there: nbcbay.com/AFMm3zG
00:00 - The stands are full. The concourse is crowded. And the banjo guy showed up. The #OAKtogether reverse boycott has the Coliseum buzzing with energy, amid chants of #SellTheTeam.

- The crowd: 27,759. The energy: Electric. The result: The 7th straight win for the red hot Oakland @Athletics on the night of the #OAKtogether “reverse boycott.” A big win for the A’s; maybe a bigger win for fans looking to be heard. They chanted #SellTheTeam after the final out.
00:00 - A woman just asked me, “Are you interviewing the garbage can?” I had to respond that I was trying to... but it wouldn’t stop talking trash.
- .@NancyPelosi: "Immigration is the constant reinvigoration of America. ... And when they come, they make America more American."
- First Bay Bridge Series game is tonight, and @Athletics fans are asking @SFGiants fans to join them in protesting the A's planned move to Vegas. It's the sequel to Oakland's #SellTheTeam "reverse boycott" last month, which was really a sight to behold: nbcbay.com/AFMm3zG
