The kids had been to a number of A's games this year, but Joy and I hadn't been to a game together without kids in a very long time. We arranged for the boys to be at Grammy and Poppy's house for the evening and off we went. There were a few hiccups along the way...major accident on 580...arrived too late to get A's parking rate (the Rodeo was going on at Oracle and parking was $35 now), so parking was found elsewhere. When all was said and done, it was a great evening. The A's won on a Balfour save (so Balfour rage was practiced), Joy enjoyed having her lap empty during the game, and we enjoyed the company of Rex and Ali.
