My wife and I are traveling to San Francisco for a mini-vacation next week.  We are going to a Yankees/A's game in Oakland and a A's/Giants game in San Francisco.  We have never been to either park before, so we are looking for suggestions.  How is parking?  Any favorite concession items?  Other things to do near the parks?  Should I be scouting Lincecum for a possible trade involving Hall?

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!

I was surprised when I heard on the radio this morning that the Rays possessed the best record in baseball with a mere 30-20 record.  After looking at the standings, the Rays and the Diamondbacks both lead the majors at 30-20.  Conversely, the worst record in baseball belongs to Seattle at 18-33.  This a mere 12.5 game difference between the best and worst in all of baseball! 

This has to be good for the game, with so many teams still thinking they have a shot at the playoffs.  Can we thank revenue sharing for this?

How much do we need to be concerned about the Brewers' defensive performance thus far?  As has been stated in another diary, Prince's defense does not seem to help the rest of the infield's performance.

Based on the small sample size of spring training games so far, Weeks has committed 4 errors, Nunez 3, Fielder and Counsell 2 errors apiece. All other defenders have 0 or 1 error.  Will this be a liability in 2008?

Personally, I believe our overall defense will be average, with Cameron, Hardy, Hall and Hart making up for deficiencies elsewhere.  Our offense will be good enough to win games with an average defense.  

Thoughts, anyone?

As we wait for some meaningful Brewer news and notes, I find myself longing for my first trip to Miller Park of 2008.  For those of us that have been to Miller Park, are there any opinions out there on the tastiest concession options?  

As for me, I vote for a loaded nachos and a cold Leinie's.  My wife likes searching for the bakery cart and the caramel apples dipped in chocolate candy!

Ken Rosenthal writes that the Crew may still be interested in signing Pedro Feliz, and that Hall may be reluctant to move to third base after the Cameron signing.  I'm not sure how much truth there is to this, but I would not like this move.
