Mauer is good player of base ball.

He hits the long ones and the short ones and he does not make an out.

I hope that he is like the 4th option at a specific position.

I’m cooking my way through www.ourbestbites.com and I’m not sure there is a better website out there…ever. Amazing pictures, step-by-step instructions, and the food? The food? Wow.

Memphis wins their two in their place so Sacramento has to win three straight at Raley now.

on Friday in my usual section 225...that's also fireworks night

on Sunday I got those section 117 seats (row 16)…I understand the heat and sun issue…too bad if we miss each other, though…

I don't think I can, since the Sunday seats were from

what was left over from my season ticket account…but I’ll ask on Friday just to make sure…oh wait, you mean you’re going to Thursday’s game instead of Sunday?

I work Thursday til late so I wasn’t going to go to the game…

by OaklandSi on Sep 16, 2009 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

No, Sun. is my regular spot.

But I know I won’t be able to sit there. I’m thinking about trading my Sun. ticket for either the Fri. night game against the Angels or for a different seat up higher for the Sun. game against Cleveland. Its going to be hot Sunday, and my fair skin won’t be able to stand the heat.
