Baseball on July 4th!

There's nothing like a good baseball game on the Fourth of July, especially when your team wins! Andrew (AKA Cable Guy) and I went to Chicago to see the Orioles at the White Sox. Andrew's also an O's fan (although not as much as me :), so it was fun cheering them on at an away game. Some of the fans around us were a little annoyed - especially some dude 2 rows back - but whatever. U.S. Cellular Field is the 16th major league ballpark that I've been to. It's a pretty nice stadium, but not as nice as Camden Yards.






Before the game some sailors rolled out this big flag, which was cool:



Speaking of the White Sox, today's doubler header was pretty crazy. Game 1: Twins 20, Sox 14...Game 2: Twins 12, Sox 0!! Poor Sox fans.

Oh yeah. Do you really think they left their seats for ~4 innings because I said the S-word?

Sandra! I went to a Nats game today (Sunday) - first of the season for me. It was against the Brewers, and the Nats actually won! I am planning to go to an O's game too before the season is over. :)

Hey Buster,

The White Sox can be a generous team. At least they split the series with your birds, and after that violent pitching hiccup against the Twins, the Sox won the next two games to split that series too. They will give, but they will also take.
