oakland ehs Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well I recently got back from a weeklong road trip with a friend and two weeks of family vacation, and the 30 NHL cities in 30 days thread inspired me to share photos from the sports parts of the trip.Friday, September 7 - Edmonton Eskimos vs. Calgary StampedersCommonwealth Stadium - Edmonton, AlbertaThe Eskies suck and lose 20-17, but luckily cover the tie on my Sports Select ticket.All 20 full-size photos on PhotobucketI've had to break this thread up into 8 posts in order to post the pictures properly... hope nobody minds. I can only put 5 photos in each post so that's why... not trying to pad my post count, so hope mods don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland ehs Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Sunday, September 9 - Canada vs. Russia Super Series Game 8GM Place - Vancouver, British ColumbiaWe were halfway to the game on the skytrain when we realized the tickets were sitting on the desk in the hotel room. Ended up missing most of the first which sucked but luckily we didn't miss much. Canada won 6-1 and the series 7-0-1, and my first Team Canada game was unbelievable, regardless of the less than exciting series. Best part of the game was when all the emotions boiled over and a line brawl started in the Russian end, which I have on video and must get on youtube sooner or later.All 119 full-size photos on Photobucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Braden is... Dallas Braden but Mike Piazza is tricked into thinking it's still 1999 and comes through with 2 doubles and 2 RBI's.All 47 full-size photos on Photobucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland ehs Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Wednesday, September 26 - Oakland Athletics vs. Boston Red SoxFenway Park, Boston MassachusettsThe A's lose again 11-6, but not without seeing a couple mammoth home runs, including possibly Mike Piazza's last (that is if he didn't hit another one after this game... I'm not positive).All 37 full-size photos on photobucketAll in all, it was an amazing couple of weeks. Fenway Park will always be a great memory, and I'm glad to have achieved one of those "things to do before you die" type of things. For anyone who hasn't been there, I suggest you do it and experience the history of such an amazing park.If there's any errors with the links, let me know please.Enjoy the pics.
