Baseball!!

Went to the game again tonight, I really love baseball right now. I think it's probably the single most important thing in my life right now. I know that sounds really sad, but seriously, it's so awesome. They lost again to Fargo tonight but the game overall wasn't as bad as last night.

The people sitting around us were the most traumatic part though. It started when people with two small kids, about 4 years old, sat behind us. And the mom had to explain everything to the kid is this awful "talking down to my kids" type voice. I've never liked that voice and can tell you, it's not necessary. I used to teach pre-school and really, you can talk to kids in a normal voice, they aren't going to listen anyway, trust me. Then not long after that, right in front of us came two more people with two little kids that were probably 3 years old at most and they talked over the game the whole time. They weren't even watching the game and really didn't watch the kids all that much. We think they were on a date with their kids, it was strange. I was glad when they finally left, but it was after 9, don't kids go to bed any more?

The weird thing of the evening was in the last inning when they put first baseman Bryan Warner in to pitch. He actually did a pretty good job and it got the crowd back into the game. The inning before they got 4 runs and were almost in rally stance. But the couldn't hold it and lost out in the end 11-6. JP moved from third base to first base when Warner pitched, so it was kind of odd to not have him right there in front of us like we are used to. The guy covering third, John Rodgers, he caught the ball and got an out or something, he had the ball anyway, and he went to toss it to the shortstop. This was after the play was over but they toss the ball around infield after good plays, only the shortstop wasn't ready for that and didn't catch it and it rolled into the outfield. It was funny in a way, because here's the new guy trying to play along, but failing.

I got a new visor and shirt at the game tonight. I am way more into this then I ever thought I would get, but really, it's a ton of fun. After the game C-bob and I went and got tacos, I was really hungry by then. Only 4 more home games left, and I'm going to 3 of them. Go Saltdogs!!
