Blogging from the ballpark

I'll bet you a dollar you can't do anything without your electronic leash being used.

You'd win! I don't take bets like that.

And even if you took away my laptop I still have my cell phone.

In the spirit of all things blogging and sports, the two intersect very well at Sports Blogs Nation, which has blogs for all 30 major league teams, and is rapidly growing to many other sports.

I'm quite preferential to the A's site, Athletics Nation at:

If you prefer the Giants, and that's fine, through the first week of October, when their season will end, you can try McCovey Chronicles.

Scoble - we've got playoff tickets to the A's and intend to use them. Want to show Patrick a great team, and you'll have to come across the bay, WiFi be damned.

oh I meant all the leashes.

Sad in a way, to be so insecure about your standing on the "A list" that you can't set it all aside, not even for a ball game.

John: You know what's really lame? That I can't visit San Francisco with Patrick without being dragged into the Apple store. Watch Flickr for more photos.

I can't decide what I want more - a day at the ballpark, a notebook like yours or those damn fries.

The fact that you some how managed to get them all at once and hang with your son at the same time is priceless!

just try and keep the grease from the garlic fries off your keyboard and you'll be OK

I'll trade a day at the ballpark for any laptop anyday of the week. Nothing is more priceless than enjoying a ballgame on a sunny afternoon, and even better being there with one of your kids, scorecard in hand, sun shinning.

I pity the folks that feel they need to have either a laptop or a cell phone at all times for fear they may miss an opportunity to share their bloviating with the rest of the world. Yet another sign the Apocolypse is upon us.

Just because the ballpark has WiFi doesn't mean you have to use it.

Scorecards online are far superior to paper ones. We only pulled the computers out in the eighth inning, though. Hey, they wouldn't have put free Wifi in the park if they were expecting no one to use it.

But the apocolypse is coming.

So now you need Empower sockets so you don't run out of juice in the middle of the game right? What's the world coming to! :)

Game on...!

Hi Robert did you check the small print on the ticket? when I was in Seattle i was taken to see the Seahawks play, being from the UK, I settled down to read the smallprint on the ticket, apparently you are forbidden to take images inside the stadium or transmit and receive etc etc So I wasnt sure what the free WiFi was for! Certainly not for blogging about the game :-)

I was at that game too! Although I didn't bring a laptop, I did enjoy some garlic fries! :)

Wow - those garlic fries look ... fantastic.
