BASEBALL!

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.

Hey JAGG, how'd you get to be a Phillies fan and you in Oklahoma? It's kinda like me being a Red Sox fan and me being in Oklahoma...I was in the service and got to see a couple games at Fenway Park and I've been a fan ever since. Same for you?

Finally.....the Pirates beat The Brewers. First time in two years!

They beat us in the first game and really were very obnoxious about it. I was shocked to see that.

Well, we exploded for 7 runs in the 7th, they couldn't do anythiing right! And we beat them 10 to 2. It was so effin cold (58) thats 40 degrees colder than its been, it felt like winter......when we were all dressed for August....so by the time we were kicking ass, maybe, M A Y B E 2,000
fans were left.....but we made noise. It was funny, maybe you had to be there....there was a person in every 15 seats or so, and one person started it, then every one started doing it, using the flash light feature on their smart phone and shining it around because it was like a ghost town.

OK, obviously, I was out screaming, in the cold too long......good night!
