The Game

So we made it to the game. There was no rain for the first inning, but then the skies opened up. We we're put on rain delay for about an hour. Before the rain, the Bees were down by 6. So not off to a great start. Everybody except Yom showed up after the rain. Unfortunately, his friends wedding was that same night so he had to leave during the rain delay. So the game got back underway around 9pm and we just sat back and enjoyed ourselves. It was a bit chilly out after the rain and I had forgotten my coat in the car. So after a trip to the team store and realizing they wanted $110 for a coat, I instead paid $25 for a long sleeve shirt. It helped keep me warm fortunately. We stayed as long as Asti would let us stay(he was too cold) which ended up being the bottom of the 7th and about 11:00pm. We then went to Denny's to get an after game snack. Apparently ordering bacon was rather hilarious. Don't ask.I think we will definitely try and do this again. Maybe I'll take everyone out to a Jazz game this year. A little bit faster pace would be helpful in keeping everyone interested.

Play ball!

So Yom and I were fortunate enough to be able to score some Suite tickets to the Salt Lake Bees game. For those not in the know, it's the Triple A affiliate of the Angels. The Bees got off to early lead and maintained it for most of the game. We snacked on some burgers, churros, Chicago dogs, and red vines. Yom decided he'd use a red vine as a straw. He thought I was crazy that I was shocked about it. He said, "Haven't you ever used a red vine as a straw before?" Yes Yom, I have. When I was 8!!! I've grown up. I've moved on to drinking out of the can or a cup.
Anyway, the game got really exciting in the 9th inning. The Bees were up 5-3 in the Top of the 9th. They brought in their reliever who had a laughable 10.80ERA. Oh, but it got worse. He stayed on the whole inning surprisingly, but allowed 2 runs and had the game tied up. Time for the Bees to show what they're made of. And with a man on 1st and 2nd, Matt Brown knocked it out of the park for a 3-run homerun to win the game! It was an exciting end to a fun night.
We had already scheduled it, but we picked up the tickets for our night at the ballpark on June 26th. I'm taking the Funny Name Media crew and their spouses. Feel free to join us at the game.
