    Why it DOESN'T suck:


    * I saw Johnny Damon knocked cold in a collision in the outfield there. When he was with the Red Sox.

    * I was there at the Texas Rangers Bullpen Chair-Throwing Incident.

    * The Texas Rangers Bullpen Chair-Throwing Incident was the least-odd thing that happened in that game, including: runner scored by balk, runner scored by HBP, runner scored by walk.

    * I was there when Jeremy Giambi should have slid. (fuck)

    * An opposing-team outfielder has been struck by a cell phone thrown from the stands. Twice.

    * The women in the stands have longer criminal records than the men.

    Thanks guys! I knew the hive mind here would have the answer.


    Never been to the Bay area, haven't followed the Warriors since the Run-TMC days.

    Tupac had to choose between Oakland Coliseum & the Thunderdome for the "Californa Love" video. He chose to postpone death, you know, for a little while.

    Do they take down the McAfee signs down on Sunday so that Raiders fans can safely get in?

    Well, if the stadium is home to ND Athletics, at least they used to have a good football team.

    @Kid Canada: or at least there's probably good restaurants nearby.

    I remember when I was walking into the stadium for a 1:00 game, and some middle-aged man was passed out in his car listening to Snap Yo' Fingers by Lil' Jon at full blast on repeat. Or did that happen in Detroit? Damn, these shitty cities all run together.

    @The Governor: Detroit actually has a decent ballpark, though.
