Game 1 of Bay Area Double Header

Enjoyed pool area some more in the am and then packed up and moved to downtown Oakland to a surprise of a hotel. We were not expecting much in Oakland but ended up at a real nice hotel that a lot of the A's staff and coaches stay and very close to the Coliseum. Shuttle service to the game and good seats to watch a good game until the A's blew it open in the seventh. Amazing that the stadium was less than half full as only the die hard A's fans are hanging on these days. Many comments on the Red Sox gear as the Sox were playing across the bay where we are going tomorrow for game two.
