"I Love Sausages," says Carmen


On a warm summer evening there isn't much that's better than a baseball game (OK, there are some things, but work with me here). This past Friday, Carmen and I spread a giant lime green blanket on the lawn of Home Run Hill at Raley Field. Our trip was two-fold, to enjoy our first Rivercats game of the season and to celebrate my friend Nancy's accomplishments as Teacher of the Year in her district (Yay Nancy!!).

We spent $7 for our tickets and $7 for our beer -- a Miller Lite, no less. However, it was $1 hot dog night so $8 for both isn't too bad! It was $1 for ice cream too, but I was too full of beer, hot dogs and garlic fries to partake. Hot dogs never taste as good as they do at a ball park -- even when they're the wimpy $1 kind. Carmen was hoping for sausage, but after the beer broke the bank she stuck to the cheap version.

Anyway, there are lots of promotions throughout the summer:
  • Tecate Fiesta Tuesdays: $3.50 Tecate from 6:00 - 7:00 (pre-game)
  • Miller Lite 'Que & Brew Thursdays: $2 beer and BBQ specials
  • Family Feast Fridays: $1 Drumsticks and hot dogs
  • Fireworks Saturday: No beer specials, but fireworks are cool
Oh yeah... and there's a game or something going on too.
