Great pics

Sadly, my 14 year-old chocolate Lab is too old for a night out with the A’s (I’m happy that she is still able to go outside to take care of business). Thanks for posting this.

AWESOME PICS!!!

I love the dog giving the “steal” sign. This game should have featured the following lineup:

1B: Jeff Canine
2B: Dan Puggla
SS: Ronnie Bellirub
3B: Willy Aybarc
LF: Growl Ibañez
CF: Torii Humper
RF: Nick Barkakis
Pitcher: Jay Howl

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

That pup got quite a bit of airtime too!

I love Dog Day!!

So many cute doggies around the park. It makes me want one so bad I can hardly stand it.

My Dog wouldn't go to an AL game

She’s a purist, hates the DH.

Enjoy the game

My dog would’ve been searching the ground for dropped food the whole game.

Yay!

Interweaving, diverse, not to say conflictive emphases and a broad spectrum of items to form a dynamic exchange of parallel and self-eclipsing spatial and temporal zones.

The dalmation is adoable. My dogs would never have sat for a game. They would be on the field trying to chase down the baseballs. Anyways, one of my dogs is 139lbs. I don’t know where I would cram his big butt!
I enjoyed seeing the clips of Barton before the game playing with his pit bulls.
