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.
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?
