Overflowing sewage hits A's ballpark

The Oakland A's dugout is full of crap, and that's not just a figure of speech.

With the Minnestoa Twins in town on Saturday, a few inches of raw sewage backed up into the visitors' dugout before the third game of a four-game series.

Twins closer Glen Perkins observed what he described as "potential sewage," and sent out a photo on Twitter.

There's theories.

Bigger crowds = inherently more people taking twosies = potential problems again for A's and their garbage stadium? http://t.co/4z6Txu8Avn

There's superstition.

I'm not a big fan of the sewage either, but the A's are 2-0 on days it happens...

But mostly, there's jokes.

@susanslusser -- Will MLB please test sewage for clues on what makes the A's a superior ball club despite stadium issues?

@susanslusser @Buster_ESPN This is very strange. Don't the A's usually wait 'til the ALDS before we see raw sewage on the field?

There is no truth to the rumor that the Oakland A's are going to go swimming in the sewage after they clinch the AL West.
