Diary of the final homestand of a lost season

Like many of you, I'm a partial season-ticket holder. Way before the season starts, if you have a partial plan then you have to choose your games. I chose every game in the last week, other than the "businessman's special" Thursday afternoon game, because, I guess I have to work.

When I chose these games, I thought they would be meaningful. Battling the Rangers for the AL West or the Wild Card, and potentially facing off against the Giants with both teams' postseason hopes on the line. At this point...I was set to go to five absolutely totally meaningless baseball games in one week at the Coliseum.
