One of the great things about living in a city is that there are several things to do and to choose from. My favorite thing is being able to check out a baseball, basketball or football game any time I want to go. I've never really had any favorite sports team when it comes to baseball or football, but since moving to the Bay Area, I've enjoyed going to the A's and Raiders games.

I went to a couple of baseball games this summer but there was one team I've been really wanting to see. No it's not the Red Sox cuz I've already seen them play twice now, but it's their heated rivals "The Yankees". Yep a little Derek Jeter and A Rod (yUMmmmy). Even though the A's lost the game, I can now say that I've seen the Yankees play.

For the second year now, Doug and I have gone to Monday Night Football to watch the Raiders play. Last year's Monday Night against the Broncos was a complete disappointment and BLOW OUT and we ended up leaving the game early. This year we were hoping for a better game against the Chargers and that's exactly what we got. The game was sold out and plenty of crazy Raider fans there to support their team. I met up with a couple of people that I used to work with and did a little bit of tailgaiting. What a freakin mad house walkin through all that tailgaiting mess. The game was freakin awesome!!! I didn't know a soul in that stadium, but now I know why they call it Raider Nation!!!! Doug turned to me during the game and asked me how it felt to be a part of the family??? It would also be my luck to sit next to a Charger fan too. I know she so wanted to cheer but she would get booed if she did. For those of you watching the game, the Raiders got screwed on that touchdown and should have won the game. But it took the Chargers until the last 18 seconds to score, damn you Philip Rivers!!!!! I'm just hopin that this season is going to be a lot better than the last. GO RAIDERS!!!!
