I seem to recall that at least a few the AN faithful were planning trips to New York this year.  We will be going in September, and I am looking to book a room for a reasonable price.  From what I've seen on line, there's a wide range of places to stay.  I would appreciate any feedback there might be from ANers that traveled to New York this year.  We are going to Cooperstown on September 11th, and will then drive into the city to attend games on the 12th & 13th.  Is it worth the savings to stay in New Jersey?  Any insights you may have will be appreciated.

Wouldn't you like to be in the house when the A's sweep the Giants this weekend?  Friday nights game will feature Dana Eveland (5-5) against Kevin Correia (1-5).

My sister has 4 tickets (season tickets) for this game.  They are in Section 106, Row 1, Seats 1-4.  She only wants what she paid for them ($25.00 each).  If you are not familiar with the park, Section 106 is the section behind the visitors (Giants) bullpen.  You can email my sister at Baseballfan13@sbcglobal.net if you are interested.

I've been a fan of Jeremy's since he came up with Giants.  Does anyone know if he is traveling with the team and/or  when he might come off the DL?  I'll be going to the games on Tuesday and Wednesday in Oakland, and my seats are behind the Jays bullpen.  I'm just wondering if Jeremy will be there.  I'm looking forward to also seeing Shannon Stewart and Marco Scutaro . . . . I miss both of them.  Any information you might have on Jeremy would be appreciated.  Thanks!

While doing some spring cleaning while the roommate was out of town, I realized that she was missing the Barry Zito bobblehead.  We have an extra Frank Thomas bobblehead and Eric Chavez figurine if anyone would like to make a trade.  If you don't need either of those, I can always get one of the four being given away this year to trade.  I'm also looking for the Chavez marionette that was given out a few years back.  Please leave your email address if you are interested.  Thanks!

This September I will be traveling to New York to visit Cooperstown and both NY ballparks.  I'm looking to AN for recommendations.  The tentative itinerary is;  September 10th - fly from Oakland to Albany, NY (either stay in the Albany area or drive to the Cooperstown area)  September 11th - visit Cooperstown, eat dinner and then drive to Flushing/Bronx area (about a four hour drive)  September 12th attend either Mets v Braves or Yankees v Rays (both night games)  September 13th attend either Yankees v Rays @ 1:05 or Mets v Braves @ 3:55.  September 14th fly from LaGuardia or JFK to Oakland.  I'm looking for hotel/motel recommendations, places to eat, whether we should see Yankee Stadium at night or in the day . . . . etc.  The one place we plan to visit for sure is Pacific Standard in Brooklyn.  Any other suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

Dateline Oakland, California -

This just in . . . . According to a reliable source (at least I can rely on them!)  SP Dana Eveland's passport was stolen (along with his laptop and possibly other items) when his vehicle was broken into at the Starbucks on Hegenberger Road earlier today.  He is not on the team flight to Toronto.  The good news is that he is not scheduled to start until the A's get to Cleveland on Friday.  In other Bay Area news, the Giants still suck!

Yesterday, during our family Easter gathering, my sister (an A's season ticket holder) relayed the following story;  On Saturday, she was at a restaurant celebrating the 18th birthday of a friend's daughter.  She passed by a table of three guys separating their season tickets and upon getting a closer look said . . . "You're a season ticket holder for the Giants?" . . . . The one guy said "Yes".  Without missing a beat my sister replied . . . . . . . "I'm sorry"  and walked away.

If we don't get a 10th team by the end of the day, the league will be deleted.

Is anyone interested in a fantasy baseball league?  I pay to play in a keeper league, but would also like to have a couple of free "fun leagues".  I've played in both Yahoo and CBS Sportsline leagues and really don't have a preference.  If there is enough interest, I would sign up for a private league, and post the password on AN for anyone who wants to join.
