The tears that flooded the Coliseum last Sept. 26 have given way to grim resignation as the Athletics return to the Bay Area without a city officially attached to their nickname.

The series this weekend marks the first time the A's have returned to the Bay Area since the John Fisher-owned franchise left Oakland after 57 years after last season and moved, at least temporarily, to Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.
