Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

[sanjosefuji]

I've been an Oakland A's fan since the 70's when my older brother started taking me to games. Last night we relived old times by going to the A's/Dodgers game, along with sixteen other family members. Among them were baseball fans from Hawaii, so the Kurt Suzuki (he's from Maui) Fan Club was in full force.

Suzuki struggled by going hitless and striking out once. But Coco Crisp went 2 for 3, walked twice, and had three stolen bases to lead the A's to a 3 to 0 victory over the visiting Dodgers. Brandon McCarthy pitched seven shutout innings allowing only two hits, one walk, while striking out five.


But I'm sure most of you could care less about a recap... especially Mr. Zakwin & Mr. Night Owl... so I'll move on to my pair of PC Additions:

A's Helmet

I've been wanting one of these for a while now, but every time I go, they're sold out. It's one of those deals where it comes filled with popcorn for $6 or $7. I'm debating on whether to use it as a cereal bowl or a wall decoration for my office. Either way... I'm glad I finally have one.

A's Souvenir Bat

As I left the ballpark, I stopped by the Fan Shop and found this cool, miniature Louisville Slugger bat with Athletics stamped on it. It was one of the more affordable items in the store, so I picked it up. I figure it'll be a nice addition to my A's shelf in my office.


Happy Wednesday and sayonara!

I picked up something Oakland Athletics for my PC while at the Louisville Bats/Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees game. An IP autograph of the one and only Jack Cust. Baseball is a great game at all levels.

It's hard to beat hanging out with the family @ a baseball game. We had a blast!

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time... hope he steps things up in AAA and makes his way back to the bigs.
