Went to ST this last weekend. It was really fun. Weather was beautiful and the stadium is pretty nice. Even our crappy seats in right field were good because they're so close to the field. It was more crowded than I expected.

If you ever go to Tempe, eat breakfast at Crackers & Co.

My only complaint is that the scoreboard at Tempe Diablo is a complete hunk of shit. However, having beer vendors in the stands made up for it.

@ Bilko 420: They made me dump my SEALED bottle of water for some reason.

Suspicious liquid?

Question: now that the games will be aired live on KLAA, does that mean no more free Internet audio?

no
we still get free streaming audio
Is there just no audio today?
I don't see our game listed today.

A pre-game would be nice.
Wonder if during the season we will get pre-game Angel talk or infomercials. I think the Dodgers have 1hr pre-game with call ins. Wouldn't that be something.
look like
our opening day lineup
Oakland unloads for 4 in the top of 2nd
Napoli to the track - 3rd out
end of 2, 4-1 bad guys
K Rod
Frankie with a perfect inning.
Izzy with a leadoff BB in the bottom 3rd
Chone coming up...
0-1 with a groundout thus far.
Lackey
Was he on a strict pitch count?  Hard to figure out why he would have been pulled when he was (looking at the box score, anyway).
Yes...
not sure what he ended up with, but while driving in the car, I heard Terry say he was limited to 20 pitches.  He was struggling at the outset, BB'ing the first two batters.  He got a 5-3 DP to end the first without any damage (whew!).
Lackey 1-2/3
only struck out one.
WP, Izzy moves to 2
Matthews, FC, Izzy moves to 3rd.
Vladdy K's
Hernandez with 2K's.  Looking strong for Oakland.
Darren Oliver comes in
conrad with a 2b
5-3; inning over 0R 1H
GA with a "ringing double"
off the wall, just missed a homer.
HK with an RBI 2B
Kotch flies out to left
Adenhart and Arredondo

Gets a single.

Vladdy stretches it from 1st to 3rd and the cutoff went to second to try to catch Hunter.  Hunter got there in time, too!

A's draw in the infield for HK.
