A's to play game one on my birthday

by Brian in 317 on Oct 7, 2006 9:10 PM PDT

I've often said that what I really want for a gift is for my team to win on my birthday. Since it's in mid-October, that hope has always been imbued with extra meaning, and of course, has rarely even been a possibility. This year, thanks to the A's, it's going to happen.

I was afraid they'd schedule this game for daytime (after calling in with "NineInning-gitis" last week, I was loath to take another day off work), but I saw during the Mets/Dodgers game it would be Tuesday at 5pm. Hallelujah!

Out of superstition I'd better not tell you what I'll be wishing for but my promise to you all is that I will be sure to blow out ALL forty five of the candles on my birthday cake.

The A's should open Section 317

just for your birthday. It would be cool to have a sea of green tarps, and Brian.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Actually

it would be a sea of grean tarps, Brian, and members of the press in 316.

The tarps read "Akland Athletics" yesterday.

Happy birthday Brian. We met in 317 at the end of '04, then I ran into you opening day of '05, and a loss to the D'Rays in '06.

Let's hope they don't use

just the wrong sections, and leave "klan"--it could be awkward, especially if an A's pitcher gets his third strikeout.

I know exactly

who you are. I figured it out a couple of months ago. I've been enjoying reading your many humorous, insightful, tawdry and incendiary comments here this year. Aren't you glad I told you about this site?

Let's go 'AKLAND!

they should!

I've been thinking about sneaking up there all year. It'd be kind of like stowing away on a ocean liner, only without the ocean, or the liner.
