I Have a Dream vs MIN

First off I would like to take a moment to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was one of the most influential and charismatic men of the 20th century. With that said this was the Warriors only day game that landed on a week day and unfortunately my place of work did not have the day off. I knew several weeks in advance this was the case however and used a vacation day to get it off. I like to do this during the baseball season to. I call it taking a Ferris Bueller day off. The Weather did not lend itself to that mid summer day cold Beer and a Brat type of feeling though. It was cold and rainy, utterly miserable or as some would say beautiful. Got to the game just in time for tip off. It was a slow morning and the rain on the way slowed us down. The game itself was exciting and at times it was also very frustrating. We constantly struggled and many times found our selfs chasing the lead. The half time show was interesting they had a Artist who paints while performing to music. In several minutes he painted a stunning picture of Dr. Martin Luther King all the while dancing to the music. It was a good vibe in the air celebrating and honoring the man on this day. sadly at the end the Warriors came up short by one point. It all came down to one shot at the buzzer. But in all honesty we should of had that game won well before that. To sum it all up with one shot would not do it justice.



I however found my salvage in the fact that it was 4:00pm the game just let out and Doug's is finally open. Normally when I pass by this place it's me rushing to get inside the game. Then by the time I come out it's already closed. But today I was out early and I figured I would drown my sorrow over the loss with some food. Many of you might of seen this place it is directly under the bridge that goes from BART to the Colosseum / Arena. My first thought when I saw the menu was "wow it's pricey". They had full racks of ribs for $24 and Tri Tip sandwiches for $10.50. I went with a classic combo burger, fries and a drink. The burger was good, it is what you expect from a good little hole in the wall. The fries can be summed up as "Salt sticks". They are the nice corrugated old school type of fry but with twice the salt. Overall though I would recommend the meal as it's cheaper then inside the Arena and better quality. I can't speak on any of the BBQ items on the menu though I will have to try those another day. As always your man on the field for Warriors home games giving you the inside scoop....
