Katie and I went to the Oakland A’s game tonight, which was another $2 ticket/$1 hot dog night.  They’re the only times we can afford to see live sporting in this recession.

The hot dog line was shorter than the previous two times we had gone, which was nice.  Also, we saw the Mike Birbiglia baby again!  He looked a little less like Mike Birbiglia when we saw him in his show in New York, but probably more like Mike Birbiglia might look if he was an Oakland A’s fan decked out in baby clothes.

Then, everyone hit, like 50 home runs.  Because of that, Katie and I got coupons for free 2 liters of Pepsi at Lucky, which practically paid for the tickets!

Then a guy ran onto the field, who was not a ballplayer.  He ran all the way across the field, then got stopped by a ball boy or fieldsperson or something.

Then, another guy ran across the field and no one chased him because they were all tired from chasing the first guy!

Then, the A’s won.

It was great.

Now, I’m going to go eat some ice cream, which is free at home, as opposed to $5 at the ball park.  It’s enough to make a guy run across the field.
