Root Beer and Runs

by luvsthecurveball on Jul 27, 2006 12:16 AM PDT

We had both today at in Oakland. Thank Heaven. I really couldn't handle being swept by the Red Sox right now.

I am sick as a dog and, let me tell you, it is really frustrating to be at a game and not be able to cheer for your team. Especially when they're winning.

Missed a bit of the Float Day festivities and didn't take a whole lot of pictures. What a great day for baseball:

the floats tasted yummy
Danny and the pen pitched a helluva game
it wasn't too hot
The nonbaseballplayingalien that's been inhabiting Chavy's body was gone (at least for one day)
$40,000 was raised for juvenile diabetes
Frank Thomas was Frank Thomas
and - oh yeah - the A's won baby!

Loved Danny's high socks! Hot. But I really don't get why he and Swisher think they have chicken legs. Perhaps we should start a letter campaign to lobby for the wearing of high socks.

View on for pictures...

Huston's GF is very pretty.

I'm still trying to figure out

If I was served by Jamie Kotsay or by Bobby Crosby's girlfriend (the name escapes me.) Anyone happen to have pictures of that particular group? (which also happened to include Alex Chavez and, at the time, a little girl who's relation to a player wasn't really clear, to me, at least.)

Bobby's gf is Gina Raspaolo

I forget who's who already, but I do remember (as Rickeyfan pointed out to me as we waited in line) that Gina had a BIG phat rock on her hand.

Haha, thanks

Nice to see Bobby can afford quality jewelry. And my server was the far right. A hunch would tell me it's Crosby's girlfriend, but that's all it is, a hunch.

I think the far right one is Alex Chavez

Crosby's girlfriend is the second from the left.

Next Question!

Yay!

Awesome pictures! It was such a fun day. Thanks for getting pictures of the wives and Danny in high socks. Because of my stupid film camera, I'll have to wait til payday to get my photos developed.

If I'm identifying her right...

...Huston's gf looks, in order from top to bottom (on the left of the 5th, 6th, and 7th pictures): 12 years old; pretty; possessed (and it's not just the flash of the camera).
