Take me out to the Ball Game!

Hmmm, its been a while since I've written in my blog. Sorry, blog, but my life is somewhat boring right now. This past week has been mostly work, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep. Not something anyone wants to read about.

One thing to note is that we went to the Cardinals game on Friday night against the Astros with some friends, Matt and Beth. It was the first one I've been to this year.


We had great seats on the third base line (Thanks, Matt's Dad!). We were under an overhang, so no foul balls. Oh well. It was a nice night...it had rained most of the day, so I thought it was going to rain during the game too, but we were lucky.

After the seventh inning stretch we went to the Party Porch. It was only up one level from our seats. Its basically a bar that anyone can go to and you can still watch the game on the field or on TV. And they served beer even after last call (that's why we after the seventh inning).

Even better than an extended time for drinking... the Cards actually won! They have been in a pretty bad drought lately. They've been struggling and it didn't help when one of the pitchers, Josh Hancock, was killed in a car wreck a few weeks ago. They had a memorial tribute to Hancock on Friday, but we missed it. Saw part of it on TV and it looked very nice. Seems like a lot of the players will really miss him. I just hope people learn from Hancock's mistakes by not drinking and driving instead of making them again.
