Take me out to the.... *thud*
Jul. 19th, 2003 12:14 amWent to the Orioles game tonight since it was Student Night again and $5 is a pretty good price. The O's actually beat Anaheim, 6-5. And it was a pretty close game, too. I think they went through seven pitchers and had to rely on Jorge Julio's fastballs to keep the lead in the ninth. No streakers this time, but there was a "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" moment at the end: they declared Tony Batista as the player of the night at the end.
Well, let's see here: first time at bat, bases loaded, Batista hit a home run out of the park. Then in the 8th inning, he hit ANOTHER homer. That's 5 out of the 6 runs. Yeah. I think that made sense. (Oh, and Brian Roberts won the "Doh!" award of the evening. He walked to first, then decided to steal second and was out before he got halfway to second base - even I could see it was a bad time to do that.)
And the fireworks afterwards were cool, too.
As you can probably tell, I'm about to crash. More tomorrow afternoon. Maybe.
