I'm on the mailing list for A's to Fremont so I was wondering if anyone here actually heard of the A's to Fremont Healthcare Grand Slam event and is going? Sorry I posted this so last minute, I remembered this was tomorrow and I came on to see who's talking about it, but after I searched back a bit it doesn't look like anyone's actually mentioned this yet. I apologize if this is a duplicate post.

Hello my lovelies... Here are, as promised, part one of the AN Day II photos. It was a great day, so much fun to hang out with a bunch of A's fans and also stuff my mouth at the same time! I only wish they wouldn't take the food away so early. And I finally got to see Billy Beane in the flesh too. I'm sure I could gush on and on for days but I'm sure no one cares because you just want to see photos of yourself ;) (Just kidding... I hope no one is actually reading this.)

Sorry the quality is so low, I no longer have Comcast so I have to use a free image host; I saved the pictures in the lowest quaility possible so I hopefully don't blow the bandwidth!

Photos of people from during the game coming soon!

I knew going in that this would probably be my last game of the season, but I didn't think it would be as memorable as it was. These last few weeks have been a crazy rollercoaster ride of ups and downs [more downs than ups recently] but one thing I'm absolutely sure of now; there's something special about the Coliseum and the 2005 Oakland A's, and nothing, no matter what happens in this final month, can change that.

Well it's about 2:30 in the morning but I realized that if I didn't get these pictures from AN Day II up right now, it would probably be three weeks before I touched them again. So maybe the colors are really off, and I don't even know how to fix red eye in Photoshop [you can do a bunch of other things in Photoshop, but red eye reduction doesn't seem to be a function.... go figure] but at least I optimized for web-view so they should load fast for everyone ;)

A random assortment of game play, HIGH SOCKS CREW, Mug's Root Beer Float day and autograph pictures from the Cleveland series!

Here we go with more photos of this unofficial AN event, Chez Nico II. Once again, thank you Nico for letting me use your camera! Sorry that I killed the entire battery and then had that huge scare when I thought I accidently deleted half of the photos.

Hi, this is me again, with more pictures for your enjoyment! I went to the game today with Baseballgirl and Anne [I think? I am so bad with names and I just realized I didn't catch it. Sorry, please correct me :(] Anyway, we met up at SecretAsianMan's tailgate, but then decided to head into the game early so we could catch the end of the Wives' Softball Game. When we got inside the stadium, the score was tied 5-5, but the Athletics pulled ahead in the 6th and 7th innings and won 8-5! Yay!

This is a megathread for everyone who is going to the Giants series this weekend, and also for the people who would like to lament about not being able to go.

Our very own Nico had his "Chez Nico Dry Run" today. It took me forever to realize that Chez meant "house" and wasn't just a fancy word for "chef." Nico was kind enough to lend me his camera to use so we could get some pictures of the event, as I only had with me the horrible camera I borrowed from my sister. After some technical difficulty, I finally got the pictures online, so please enjoy! These photos are optimized for web viewing, so they should load okay on slower internet connections. For the most part, they are in the order they were taken. And if the photo is blurry, that's because they're off my camera.

I was so excited to get to this game early that I set my alarm for 8:00am. I thought I'd get to the stadium at around 9:00, wait in line for a few hours, and get a bobblehead for sure. But of course, I stayed up late again, was so groggy this morning that I accidently reset my alarm, and then didn't wake up until 10:50am. I begged my dad to take me to BART, arrived at the stadium at around 11:45, and saw tons of people walk out of colosium carrying not one, not two, but BAGFULS of bobbleheads. Some people literally had at least 10 bobbleheads!
