Kinda Major League?

on thursday we went to oakland to see the a's play. the a's have the second fewest wins in the majors. i felt like we were in the movie Major League. i mentioned it in the last blog, but the guys in front of us made fun of the a's the whole time. one guy even had a drum. it was a ton-o-fun. it was good to see regular guys watchin' baseball. they went to all the games they could. knew each other by name. greeted each other by yelling the name and talkin' trash for a minute, then talk about the a's, and how bad they are. that was the best part of the game. sittin' in the cheap seats with the common folk.

no $2500 seats like in yankee stadium. those aren't true fans. those aristocrats tryin' to be seen. they should turn the seating chart upside down. make the seats behind home $13, and the nosebleeds $2500. that way the person who really appreciates the game, gets the best view.

and while we are changing prices, lets work on concessions. if the food had been 1/2 the price, i woulda bought twice as much. but getting a bag of peanuts, a hot dog, and a beer for $22 means i can't afford another hot dog. $8.25 for a beer is highway robbery. that's why i don't go to pro games. just wait for $1 beer night at the local minor league stadium.
that night i went to uncle vito's pizza and Mrs. Meat picked up some indian food. we went and picked up a 6-pack, and some malibu, and had a slow evening in the hotel. it was nice just hangin' out.
