Pictures - A's @ Angels - 5/1

There's a lot of them.

Last night's game really capped off what was a bad day. But as soon as I got to Angel Stadium, everything brightened up. Because of traffic on the 5 (thanks, Caltrans!), I wasn't able to pick up the tickets I bought on craigslist, so I just decided to get something in the nosebleeds. It was apparently college night, and anyone with a college ID got half off of the cheap seats. It was nice for about 5 innings, then I took advantage of the Angels fans leaving en masse to get closer.

My proposed improvement to Angel Stadium. There's too much red there for my taste.

Who is this?

Dallas Braden has a 'fro? The things you miss living 500 miles away. I had to ask Huston to figure out who this was. I feel like I don't know half this team anymore.

Joey Devine throwing to Santiago Casilla, whom I am still tempted to call "Jairo."

Huston. One of the few I actually recognized.

Greg Smith can juggle, Dallas Braden is a goofball.

Braden also wears his area code (I believe?) on his shoes.

Duke in the bullpen.

I was in the nosebleeds for most of the game (view here ), but later I snuck down:

I found this funny. Given Vlad's usual helmet stylings, shouldn't it look like this:
