Though the A’s hope to ape the Dodgers’ success (?) with what’s being called “All You Can Eat Seating” (beats “All You Can Seat Eating”, I suppose), reader Tim Cook remains unimpressed.
It will be interesting to see if this foolproof ballpark attraction will be enough to distract the monobrowed Oakland fanbase enough to forget about the trades of Nick Swisher, Marco Scutaro and Dan Haren and pending trades of folk heroes Joe “Fathead” Blanton, Houston Street, the hip surgery of starter Chad Gaudin, the release of “The Mitchell Report” and the pending release of Canseco’s “Juiced 2: The Reaping”. The smart money says YES, as usual all 12k cases for the missing link will be back, pounding those stupid drums in left field, and getting in game shape for the Raiders first preseason game.
From the One Of These Department:
the trades of Nick Swisher, Marco Scutaro and Dan Haren
right right right-thanks, Ward. I would also appreciate any help remembering Scutaro’s WBC team… Was it Italy? Netherlands? Trinidad and Tobago? Venezuela?
let me know when they institute all you can drink seating and i’ll book a flight to oakland (then to hazelden).
KT: the Braves offer a variation on this that includes all-you-can-drink … beer only, howevs. About twice the price of the all you-can-eat seats w/o booze.
I’ve never tried it, mostly because I prefer to vomit after the game, rather than during.
well hell, if there’s a good douchemaster show on a weekend with a braves game this summer maybe i’ll check it out.
