California Dreamin' - Games 1 & 2

Day1_medium

We begin our journey in San Francisco, at the beautiful home of the San Francisco Giants for game one of the 8-games-in-9-days roadtrip down the state of California. Shockingly enough, this was my very first visit to Pac Bell for a game. I have a smidge of park envy.

As I'm sure we all know, the first game of the trip was awesome for seven innings, and then...well...

But the final game of the series HAS to be better...right? Here we are, going for game two. We look so full of hope.

Day2_medium

It didn't take long for our reaction this time.

Okay, so the A's are 0-2 so far on this road trip, and now face off against the red-hot Dodgers in their home park. At least we will be with 35 other people, looking to root our green and gold to the first road trip victory!

Let's go Oak-land!

Stay tuned...

Great pics BBG!

I didn’t realize that was your first time out there. Too bad the team couldn’t reward you.

Looking forward to the next batch!

Yes!

i was hoping you’d be photojournalling the Great AN RoadTrip of 2009!!

Have fun! The night games are a little late for me where I am, but I’ll follow along as I can.

You can sure tell who was sitting in the sun and who was in the shade!

Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.

Woohoo! Tonight is gonna be awesome :)

The captions should have read like this:

Day 1: Pouting.
Day 2: Despair.

Oh, and if BBG could remember the password to her wireless network, I could also post some of my photos…AHEM.

Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.

The password isn't "TWSS" is it?

I HATE YOU ALL!!!!!!!

And that is not jealousy speaking.

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 first sad photo...

Some serious major-league pouting there. Just looking at it makes me feel like I personally wronged you two in some way. I’M SO SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!

fathers day

Hoping to see all you guys at the Fathers day game at Petco!

Save the thesaurus for when you are in front of the judge. When speaking of the A's, speak with your heart on...................your sleeve!

to see what last night’s pics will look like.

Pam's sadface is a better sadface than BBG's sadface.

I think it’s the pouty lip that does it.

I'd have to agree.

BBG looks pissed, which is also a suitable emotion.

She looks like she opened a Christmas present and it wasn't what she wanted.

i’m totally ragin’ over at scout. is it not bloggy enough there for you?

by sleepingcobra on Jun 17, 2009 10:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

Definitely.

BBG looks like she’s pretending to pout but inside is smirking about it. Pam’s pout looks like it’s for real.
