D3P1

Today, we went to the Texas Ranger's stadium in Arlington.




This is the view from the top of the stadium. The place is huge; I went up eight stories to get this high. The food areas are wide and tall, with the ceiling towering way up over everything. I meant to get a veggie dog or a brisket sandwich, but I never really got around to it. The cashew man was giving free samples.


As far as fan distractions go, this stadium was pretty nice. They had a little carnival with plinko and pitch games, and kids could play on the little baseball diamond they had.



Their Hall of Fame, however, sucked. The wide and spare hallways were filled with naught but plaques with telling how awesome Nolan Ryan was, and the entire second floor was occupied by a private party. Those jerks.


As for the game itself, it's a crying shame that the Oakland A's have such a crappy offense. Kurt Suzuki was their designated hitter, for crying out loud! The man has a .318 on base percentage this year, and a .327 obp career-wise. That's Joey Gathright territory! Moneyball sucks right now.

This guy was weird enough to get interviewed in-game. I guess that's worth having everyone in the area see your green junk. In other junk-related news, we ran into a stripper on the way out. She was handing out coupons to Jaguars, five dollars off. The police took her aside, presumably to negotiate rates. Her name was London, and for the right price, she'd show you London, France, her underpants and most of mainland Europe. On that note, I end this post.
