Afternoon Delight, Multiculti Baseball, and Two-for-One Poetics: A Foodie Day Planner

Let's do lunch:
Do oysters make you horny? Better take the rest of the afternoon off, just in case. SF Weekly restaurant critic Meredith Brody suggests a dozen local specimens (four each of Hog Island Sweetwater, Hog Island Atlantic, and Hog Island Kumamoto) at Hog Island Oyster Bar, One Ferry Building (at The Embarcadero), 391-7117.

Drink therapy:
Keep an eye on the Giants-Reds game on the flatscreen, while doing some budget drinking in a room that pays homage to Japan's baseball heroes. Get $3 drafts, wells, and house sakes, 5-7 p.m., at O Izakaya Lounge in the Hotel Kabuki, 1625 Post (at Laguna), 614-5431.

Get stupid on two-for-one well drinks from 9 p.m. to midnight. Starting at 10 p.m., restore at least a veneer of braininess by experiencing the 16th and Mission Poetry Showcase: the Stud Bar, 399 Ninth St. (at Harrison).
