A Piece of Baseball History

I'm feeling really good right now. I just bought tickets to the inaugural World Baseball Classic. It just so happens that one of the first round pools will be held in Orlando, where I am moving in a week. Two tickets to watch the Domincan Republic play Australia. The DR should annihilate the Aussies, but the DR team is stacked and since it's the first time it's ever happened, it'll be watching a piece of baseball history. Plus, tickets were really cheap (comparable to outfield plaza at the Oakland Coliseum).

The only bummer is that the DR/Venezuela game was already sold out (an hour after individual tickets went on sale). But I can live with that. The DR team tentatively has Vlad Guerrero, Alfonso Soriano, Sammy Sosa, Albert Pujols, Miguel Tejada, and a ton of other stars.

Speaking of the A's...

We got Frank Thomas!! Whoa! Bradley, Chavez, Thomas, Swisher, Crosby, Payton, Kotsay, Johnson, Kendall... I'm starting to like the look of this lineup. :)

Chris, you're going to missing out on some hard-hitting A's baseball this season. Do what you can to find your way back to the bay area this summer and we'll take in some games!
