| Last October we had a very successful tailgate party at an Oakland Athletics baseball game. So we are going to do it again. I've gotten 25 tickets to the Oakland A's - San Francisco giants game on Saturday June 25th. The particulars are as follows: What: Oakland A's - San Francisco giants baseball game & tailgate Where: Oakland Coliseum When: June 25th Game time is 1:05 p.m. Tailgate will start at 10:00 a.m. Cost: $9.00/ticket (section 325) Food will be supllied and will cost extra. We usually have the grills going with lots of different tasty food stuffs. At the last tailgate on April 30th (we did a test run to get the kinks out) we had grilled bell peppers, asparagas, and Portobello mushrooms. There was tasty cheese and crackers along with shrimp. For the main course there was Ribeye and NY Strip steaks cooked on the grill (last year we also did chicken). For the wines we usually bring some nice reds and start off with some Champagne. Past wines have included 1991 Montelena, 2001 Montelena, Krug Grande Cuvee, 1996 Pahlmeyer Red, 1991 Laurel Glen Cab, ... Post to this thread if you would like to attend and watch the Team in Green stomp the giants. | | |

| Tonight's a big night in Oakland with the return of Jason Giambi. Off steroids his batting average is what... 200?
And ARod will be a draw also.
I'll bet Giambi gets booooooooooed. | | | |

| You can go to a Giant's game wearing A's stuff. You CANNOT go to an A's game wearing Giant's stuff. You'd be lucky to only get kicked out. Actually you'd be lucky if you don't come out feet first... breathing...  | | | |
