Opening Day....

Well, it was officially opening day last Monday. But I'll write about it today.

Nick and I headed to the Oakland Coliseum last Monday to see the Mariner's take on the Athletics. We were pretty pumped that the M's were playing the opener in Oakland, so we took the opportunity to see our favorite team.

As you can see, it was a beautiful day in Oakland....Oxymoron? J/K

We saw Griffey hit a double!

Saw a W from the M's!

Saw some decent pitching from Felix!

An then there were the Oakland A's fans. Obviously I'm biased. I think Seattle fans are some of the most normal, nice people. Here are some interesting things I noted about A's fans.

1. It's 2010, you need to bring a little more to the table than "The Mariner's Suck" or "Ichiro Sucks." If it were August and we were in 4th place, then yes "The Mariner's Suck," but it's opening day. If you want to make fun of Ichiro, say something like "You've been here for how many years? Learn some English!" or "Stop dressing like a Harajuku doll" - but let's be honest people, he does anything but suck. You're just jealous he doesn't play for you,

2. The fashion sense at an Oakland game never ceases to amaze me. Take this young girl, scooby doo jacket and yellow, foam, A's Cowboy hat.

3. Drum roll please.....and something I'm pretty sure you'll only see at an A's game.....a mom feeding her 4 year old son a few sips of beer. Why? Because he asked for some? This happened on more than one occasion. I was horrified. Have fun when he's a teenager.
