The scene at today's game
Several things worth mentioning after being at today's game:
- The boos rained down loudly on Street after he gave up 2 runs in the 9th inning. Lots of four letter words uttered toward him in my section.
- At the end of the game, before the last pitch, the stadium scoreboard had the Suzuki count at 3-1. When K-Rod struck him out to end the game, the entire crowd instead thought the count was really 3-2. Lots of confused A's fans.
- Nothing will compare to seeing Reggie surprise a "huge" oakland crowd of 29,000 by scoring the winning run from second base. Reggie's hustle sure silenced the drum beating crowd.
- Watching the A's players try to lay down a bunt is comical. I'm not sure they've ever practiced that.
- After the game the oakland fans were walking out of the stadium like complete zombies. Very little was heard on the courcourse. It was a funeral-like atmosphere for the A's fans after the game. Which I didn't mind one bit.
Anyway, a big win that truely exemplifies Angels' style of baseball.

Did it shut up the air horns, too?
One of the few parks that hasn’t banned those damned things.
Witty .sig goes here.
Thanks for the report
Yeah, the TV broadcast mentioned that the scoreboard was wrong during Suzuki’s AB.
29,000 fans to see their supposed arch-rival? Wow. The place must’ve looked a quarter full!
It was pretty full actually
Remember, in an effort to boost demand, they limit supply there by covering the entire upper deck (which is bigger than the old upper deck at the Big A pre-97 makeover) with an ugly green tarp. It hasn’t worked, as Oakland is near the botton in attendance.
Capacity is only 34,000… so it was pretty full. They were giving out Dave Stewart repica jerseys, too, which may have impacted turnout.
I was there as well
That 3-1 count changing to 2-2 was the difference maker.
A pipeline of talent, welcome to Anaheim.
At least
After the game, the A’s fans were cheering to a drunkard yelling: “At least we don’t have Barry Zito anymore.” I found that comical.

I was there too!
A’s fans knew that there season was over after that heartbreaking loss.
I wanted to rub that shit in, but I felt bad for those sorry A-Holes. Good luck to the A’s in ‘09 and ‘10, HA!!!
