Hey guys went to the game today. I was at the game that started the losing streak and I was determined to end it. I have some notes:
1. The park was packed for a Businessman's Special. There were 27,000 in attendance, but it seemed like more. Lots of groups in the left field bleachers, but mostly kids who had to leave before the fireworks:( .
2. I went to the Team Shop to get an Arroyo t-shirt and they don't have them. :confused: You would think that this would be something that they should get on stat. I had to try to find a vendor outside. Finding an XXL is like finding a Kent Mercker fan in Cincinnati right now;) . I left shirtless.
3. I have said it before and I will say again: Elizardo reminds me of a poor man's Jose Rijo.
4. Greatest addition to the ballpark this year (other than Arroyo and Phillips;) ) has got to be LaRosa's Pizza. It was the perfect lunch.
5. Freel's catch was great. It garnered two standing ovations from the crowd.:thumbup:
6. The crowd was in good spirits, but did not appreciate some bad AB's from Lopez and Javy. We wanted this one bad.
7. I like Dunn. I like his majestic high HR that made my day. I need him to get the average up. Singles and doubles should be more than a trip to Wendy's for him.
8. Great team and fan celebration followed. I never can get anyone to to the "jump around" with me though.:D
9. Great day at the ballpark and I am putting my money where my mouth is. I like this team. I think consistency is our greatest flaw (bullpen etc..), but it can be learned.
Let's enjoy the day off and continue the new streak Friday.
