Also, last month, I got to sample Boog's BBQ at Camden Yards. Had myself a BBQ pork sandwich! Very tasty! My only complaint: I like wet barbecue, and there was no sauce.

I don't usually buy food at ballparks. On a hot day, I'll get a slushy. Maaaaybe fries if I got some money burnin' a hole in my pocket. It's just too dang expensive. I love the idea of ballpark food, but it just costs too much to have lunch at the park. Drink/sandwich(dog)/fries is about $20 on top of a $30 ticket? no thanks.
Kaufman stadium had some BBQ stuff (Gates I believe) but I'm not a fan of BBQ.
National's Stadium has their "famous Nat Dog" which is... a hot dog. Nothing to write home about here.
Camden yards ... yeah, didn't buy anything there.
I get more excited about the promotions "First 10,000 fans get a free tote bag" kind of stuff.

A buddy of mine (who lives in Maine and -- like you -- is a Red Sox fan) told me a Red Sox announcer had a great quote:
"The scariest sight in all of sports: Bat Day at Yankee Stadium. 50,000 people in the South Bronx all carrying a lethal weapon!"
:hehe::-D

I'm with you. I used to enjoy trying stuff, but now I avoid it. Apart from being unhealthy for the most part, lots of the food isn't as great as what you can get a block or two outside the stadiums. Since I often go to afternoon games when I go, I eat lunch on the way down, have a beer and a large diet coke and that's about it. Kids usually want a hot dog, a churro (son) and cotton candy (daughter).

After that game at Coors Field last year (where I hooked up with you), my in-laws, along with my (then brand-new-)brother-in-law, went out to that Brazilian steak place right next to Union Station. Man, that was GOOD stuff!!!

Rodizio Grill. Good stuff, but messes with my GI tract so I avoid it.

You can't really mean that, or you would have moved to live in Fort William.

Gilroy Garlic Fries at AT&T park, very yummy. Don't ride home in a van with all your male cousins after the game though, 'less you want to get a nose full of stink.
There's also a crab cakes sandwich that's rumored to be tasty but I'm not going to pay $15.50 for it.

Mike Flanagan, former Orioles pitcher and Cy Young winner, died yesterday at age 59. May have been suicide. The news is really affecting the Baltimore area - competing with both hurricane and earthquake news. If the rumors are true, his death is tragic on many different levels.

The Brewers are really on a roll now.... hope they aren't peaking at the wrong time.

hehe. David Ortiz's first game back after being on the DL with a bum ankle. 1st to home on a Crawford double (ended on third) to right field. I remember hearing the announcer say "he's going to be out by a mile" and thinking *why would the coach send him. He runs about as fast as a 3 legged injured elephant on a good day and here he is with a stiff ankle at the least*. Then I see the ball on the ground... holy crap! lol good stuff. Poor Texas.

Three grand slams?!? 22 runs???
Are you kidding me???
As Bob Uecker once famously said, "a couple of grand slams and we're right back in this thing!"

I know, right? Down 7-1, everyone thought the route was on.
They just didn't know it would be a route for the Yankees!
