BASEBALL!

Last night we went to watch (and support) our local high school baseball team. The past two years our team has won the state championship title, so we’re hoping for a third title. But back to last night, lol: our team struggled to get on the board. We watched the other team heckle and jeer on their teammates to out-best our team, which was taking a toll on our team. Bullying is not an acceptable team tactic, so our team finally got on the scoreboard by the sixth inning. It was scary, watching them bully our team. But the boys on our team did not participate in their brand of cheer. They demonstrated leadership in the sportsmanship department, which of course made us super proud of them.

We won the game by six point lead in the top of the 7th inning.

Hopefully our team does well against the competing team from a rich neighborhood. Sometimes it’s better to get off to a late start. At least it was like this last night. Three cheers for teams who practice good sportsmanship.

I agree wholeheartedly! I don't understand fans like the Phillies have. What's fun about going to a ballgame and being such a**holes? I would so much rather cheer on our team at a ballgame.

So because Xfinity and Bally Sports can't come to an agreement - and Bally Sports is probably going into bankruptcy - we can't watch the Braves on Bally Sports. And because of blackout rules, we can't watch on MLB.

To rub salt in the wound, I have to follow some damn QR code on Xfinity to request a refund for Bally Sports. They damn well know I pay for it every month; why can't they just refund it?

In other news, Shohei Ohtani is the DH for the Dodgers for this entire season; why isn't he pitching?

Man, I just gotta show some love for the MLB team we’ve been following this year. They just finished playing against the White Sox (shout out to Crochet who is a great pitcher), but man!! lol, some of our birds are just freaking amazing: Colton Cowzer (fielder), Gunnar Henderson (short stop), Adley Rutschman (catcher) and five awesome pitchers who share the team’s burden to win, win, win: Albert Suarez (used to be with the AZ Diamondbacks), Corbin Burnes, Kyle Bradish, Dean Kremer, and Grayson Rodriguez … such awesome pitchers who are extremely talented!

Keep up the good work, Birdland!

I’m feeling the magic, each and every game…

Go Orioles❣️❣️❣️

Gooooo Birdland ❤️❤️❤️

We just bought tickets to a Ray's game! We have been talking about going for some time. Now that I'm home, we decided!

Tonight, under my carport, drinking a beer, we found a game that will work with our schedule. We laughed, we didnt even care where we sat. She says, we will just walk around..lol
I'm like yeah, we can go there and over there.

At least you won't be sitting in the direct sun, and those afternoon Florida showers won't get you. I've wanted to go to a Rays game - they're my second favorite team after the Braves. Apparently there are some additional rules because it's an enclosed field. Like, I think if a batter hits the ball and it hits the ceiling, it's an automatic home run. Or something like that. Give us a report when you get back, please!?
