Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Got to see a good Devil Rays game today. You can read the details here. Short story Devil Rays 5, Boston 4. Tampa jumped to an early lead with a homer from rookie Delmon Young. Edwin Jackson, the starting pitcher for Tampa, was able hold pretty steady for 4 innings then fell apart in the fifth. Red Sox loaded the bases but could only bring it to 4-3, even with Big Papi up to bat (a single, RBI). Al Reyes closed out for the save...he'll be in New York or Boston soon if he keeps up with that performance. Good fun...even if one of our party did get hit in the head with a ball :).

Thought of the Day

If there's a fine line between realism and pessimism does that mean there's a line between optimism and delusion?

I'm BACK!!!!

I'm back in the saddle again!!! What you didn't know I left? I coulda sworn I left a post on the subject somewhere... eh guess not. Anyways, had a good time in Michigan got plenty of photos. Ate plenty of food (always too quickly to get photos of food). Met plenty of people. Saw plenty of corn. Anyways on to the photos:






















































See I told you I was in the saddle.
