KEWL! have a great time! Going to a game has gotten very expensive. I would go to a bunch if I could.

Looks like Detroit is on a mission!!

Wednesday coming up will be my 35th this season, five more after that.

And yeah....talk about expensive, a bottle of cold H20 is $3.75......I don't drink beer, but I think they are $8.75 for a draft. Betcha next year it'll be a ten dollar beer. (and people pay it) Ah, pot calling the kettle black......I buy the WATER!

I know- here a beer is $9.75! I will have one with my sis when we go to a game, but, she is the one that buys the tix. Yes, I buy her a beer.

Ya' can't take in your own food or drinks anymore (used to be able to when I was a kid), but I have gotten some small bags of peanuts in. I always eat before going. Why the hell people can't bring bottled water in is beyond me. Iused to think going to a ballgame was fairly cheap entertainment. No!!

SF won today!! The Panda shot a homer in the 11th against Houston!! WOOT!!

WOW, 35 games! I am impressed- you are a baseball fanatics dream!!! Damn, we gotta get together for a game either here or back there someday. Maybe I will finally get East to see relatives eventually and you, me and your sweetheart (maybe mine if that is what actually happens) can go to a game and yell our hearts out!!!

A rare double header today. They just don't happen any more unless it's a
rain game make up, and even then, they try to do it on an off day. Today, I'll miss my Father. We used to go to every Sunday home game, they were always double headers. And yes, IN THOSE DAYS (lol) you could take in a lunch and some unopened plastic bottles or juice boxes. I also make sure I eat before I go.....can you see me walking up to a concession stand and saying *I'll have that salad, will you throw it into a blender with some flax seed and B pollen and make me a green smoothie*

Buying a half season ticket plan/ and burning most of my PTO days, is my vacation each year. Different things work for different people.

18 innings of baseball (providing we don't go into extra innings, is a baseball lovers dream) No rain in the forecast. The Brewers are on FIRE! By the way, that blown call by the umpire yesterday cost us the game. Darn.

What a great idea for vacation time! Yes, double-headers with Dad- For me, it was Dad & Mom. They were such baseball junkies. Loved it that in retirement, they would take their travel trailer to Az for spring training.

A day off today for SF. I am going to try and watch a game that I might get that has a team or 2 that you all are fans of. Have to admit, I am watching Detroit these days as well as your Pirates. Always thinking of the BoSox and of course, I have to keep an eye on the Dbacks!

SF is now only 2 back from the Dbacks out here. But that is because they have also been on a losing streak. We shall see....

Tigers are coming in for 4 against my Rays starting tonight. I am concerned. They look amazing and we are being temperamental pitching is good defense great but the hitting is pardon the pun hit or miss. But who knows.
