Well the... the real humans won't uh... won't burn quite so fast in there. Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly," and replace "dog" with "son." We must move forward not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom. This is so weird. It's like something out of Dickens or "Melrose Place."

Subject: First 500 Ticket Buyers Get Gasoline

The first 500 fans to purchase select seats in the field level outfield for Friday home games will not only have a chance to win a new GM vehicle with the GM Drive It Outta the Park Sweepstakes, but will receive a free $10 Chevron Gift Card!

It's got to be a typo- $100 gas card. Nothing like encouraging fuel conservation.

I don't think it's a typo. I recently stayed at a hotel where they gave every guest a $10 gas card. I haven't used it yet because it was for a chain of stations that doesn't have any locations in my town. Besides, right now it would only buy me between 2 and 3 gallons - rah rah.

I suggest they have a "Win a GM car and be GM for a day" contest. I bet that would be a roaring success.

Indeed, a better promotion would be a coupon worth 5 gallons of gas, regardless of price.

It's $10 for all 500 fans - that's the thing, so $100 would be way too much. Think back to the year 2000 - would anyone have given a gas card like this?
