Part of the outfield wall in Oakland came loose, because of course it did

Oakland's O.Co Coliseum is often a disappointment, and not just because Billy Beane's torn-down Oakland Athletics have the worst record in the American League this season. No, the Coliseum is generally just a mess. It's outdated, broken down and prone to embarrassing flooding. Plus, the A's have to share space with an NFL team, which makes for a funky bedfellow.

That was on display Monday night, as the Athletics' game against the Los Angeles Angels was delayed when part of the outfield wall came loose. Shane Victorino crashed into the left-field fence while tracking a fly ball and part of it came unhinged. That's like Single-A shenanigans. 

As you can see, it was a portion of the State Farm advertisement. The game was delayed 10 minutes and both teams left the field while the wall was fixed. (Unfortunately, not by Jake and his khakis).

Grounds crew had a quick turnaround after Sunday's Oakland Raiders preseason game, which led to less-than-ideal playing conditions for the A's and Angels. As the L.A. Times reports, the window to change the Coliseum from a football stadium back into a baseball stadium was 22 hours. Things weren't done quickly enough and, as a result, the teams had to cancel batting practice. The outfield was also pretty rough, especially in center field.

The A's have needed — and deserved, probably — a new stadium for a while. Whether it's in Oakland or somewhere else. That won't happened in the immediate future. They signed a new 10-year lease last summer. This latest OMG O.Co moment won't change anything, but it will serve as a reminder that baseball is being played in subpar conditions in Oakland right now.

On the bright side, at least sewage didn't gush out when the outfield wall came loose. The Coliseum isn't that crappy.
