Ms Get Smashed By As

$2 ticket night at McAfee Coliseum earlier this summer. Picked Mick up after school and drove into Oakland to watch the Ms lose to the As something like 7-zip. No worries, though. The kids just had an experience similar to our Mariners experiences in the 80s--well, maybe even the 70s and the 90s too. Like all seasoned Ms fans, we knew to turn our attention to food, clapping to the organ music, picking candy up off the ground (oh, c'mon, everyone gets a one-time shot), and trying to ignore the boos of Oakland fans. Ichiro got an earful. (Youch. They're ruthless!)

Wow, sounds like a very fun game for you guys, even though the M's made their actual appearance unecessary. Gotta love a $2 ticket - hard to find many deals as good as that I'll tell you. The game, when going well, is fun to watch, but there is always so much else going on, you really get your money's worth for that price. Especially with kids. Nice!
