Tonight is our last regular season game in our suite. Oh how time has flown! I’m a little sad, but I do look forward to next year. Are suites in our future? We shall see…

Last day of summer…
The last official day of summer. What a bummer! I wonder if that’s the reason behind the strange weather we’ve been having lately. Weather-wise, I don’t mind the cooler days. But in my head, the end of summer means the near end of baseball. Alas!
We caught up on Prison Break. Another great episode! I’m so hooked on that show. It’s nuts. Dominic Purcell isn’t getting nearly enough air time for my taste. Good thing Wentworth Miller is worth watching. 😉
Oh yes, and there was afternoon baseball… Read the rest of this entry »
A good win
Minnesota 3, Oakland 8 at McAfee Coliseum
Winning pitcher – Joe Blanton (11-11)
Losing pitcher – Francisco Liriano (0-1)
Minnesota Runs: 3, Hits: 6, Errors 2
Oakland Runs: 8, Hits: 12, Errors 1
HR: MIN: J. Jones (22)
HR: OAK: N. Swisher (20)
Oakland Record:(84-67)
Another game with lots of runs scored for the A’s. And Swisher had a lovely homer. 😉
We watched the game while outside it rained and rained. But good thing for the A’s and the fans, the rain stopped in Oakland and didn’t delay the game. The weather has been a bit weird though…
A much too interesting game…
Minnesota 6, Oakland 7 at McAfee Coliseum
Winning pitcher – Barry Zito (14-12)
Losing pitcher – Brad Radke (9-12)
Minnesota Runs: 6, Hits: 9, Errors 2
Oakland Runs: 7, Hits: 11, Errors 1
HR: MIN: M. Cuddyer (11) J. Morneau (21)
HR: OAK: M. Ellis (10) N. Swisher (19)
Oakland Record:(83-67)
First off, Barry Zito pitched a great game. Good thing the A’s scored a lot because the relievers decided to make it “interesting.” Bah! Second, it was GREAT to see Bobby Crosby back in the lineup. Smashing! And third, go Swisher and Ellis! Swish’s shot was fantastic and then Ellis hit one right after. They didn’t even have time to celebrate Swisher’s homer. 😆
Good times, good times…
Balance of baseball

Why TiVo rocks
We watched Threshold in “real time” after the A’s game ended. Watching network shows in real time really works my patience. You can actually keep track of how much time passes between commercial breaks and let me tell you, it’s not a pretty thing. The two hour premiere of Threshold had commercial breaks every 10 minutes. TEN MINUTES! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve watched a show as it’s showing, but come on, I know you get more than ten minutes between breaks. And to premiere a show with that many breaks is frustrating. I understand wanting to create suspense, but the constant breaks were ridiculous. I was so longing for my TiVo!
All that said, I enjoyed the show. I must confess, I wanted to watch it because of Brent Spiner. I think he’s a very talented actor and it’s wonderful seeing him in a role other than Data. Besides, who can resist a sci-fi show? Not me! 😆 And the guy who plays Cavannaugh (Brian Van Holt) was pretty cool. 😉
Oh yes, let’s not forget the way the A’s lost. Alas. Read the rest of this entry »

Now I’m a happy A’s chick again. 😛
