So this is going to become a "I've just been to a ball park and this is what it was like" page. It might be a while until my first one this year. Thanks to work for a laptop and 3G access.
So yesterday I went to a Greensboro Grasshoppers game. Not my first, since I live here. But it was an exhibition against their parent club, the Florida Marlins. The Marlins had there starters in for 5 innings, then stopped caring. Apparently, the umps did too because in the bottom of the 10th, the ump blatently blew a call to let the Grasshoppers win, rather than a tie and ending the game, which was going to happen if he had called him out. Whatever, a good show put on, good weather, ready to start some real baseball now. Oh, and Cantu of the Marlins hit the furthest homerun I have ever seen here, over the Natty's lawn (and sidewalk and beer vendors and maybe another hill and sidewalk and fence) in left field. I can't build in Iowa in June, so I am contemplating my summer road trip options..... I've never been to Texas, it is Rosenblatt's last year, but that's a big drive. We'll see
