Sadly, I didn't get to go to the Root Beer Float day, so no pictures from that. But I was fortunate enough to have really good seats for Tuesday and Wednesday. I haven't really had the time to upload these until now.
Tommy Everidge is a big boy
Narcoleptic Gio Gonzalez woke up to pitch a gem
Rajai Davis is becoming my favorite player, for now anyway
He stole 2nd... then 3rd... I was really hoping he'd steal home. You could tell he wanted to.
Andrew Bailey warming up
Game over, A's win!
Chad Reineke warming up
After fistbumping the bullpen, he was ready to go
Hairston rounding 3rd after he tattooed a ball to left field
This pitch... and a few others Padilla threw that night... would not get pulled over on the freeway, except for maybe going too slow.
Live dot racing
Cliff Pennington celebrating in the dugout after his first career home run
Idiot #1 who ran onto the field (note, I do not condone nor promote this type of behaviour. We were cheering for the security guards (or an outfielder) to catch him, not cheering for him. Well, at least that's me.
Idiot #2 being tackled by the A's bullpen. Both were handcuffed and taken off the field by security.

What is it with Texas games?
Between Idiot #1 and #2 and Idiot #3 who got Tasered……

Nice pics, JLaff
Love the one with the scoreboard showing the final score above the players shaking hands.
I'm here to talk about the past.

And, Byrnes FTW.

Good work
Why is Bailey warming up in a 6-0 game?

It was 4-0 when he started throwing, I believe
So I think they just wanted to get him some work… not sure

Is the Byrnes tackle on video anywhere?
