Batting Practice

Our game yesterday was a night game between the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers. It started out like a session of batting practice as there were 8 runs scored in the first three innings. I mentioned to my co-worker that this looked like another 12-10 ballgame. It ended 12-11 (won by the Rangers in the bottom of the ninth). For the second game in a row and for about the tenth game we've worked, there were only a couple pitchers that could get anybody out. Not only that, there were many home runs which is a clear indication that the pitchers aren't ready for the season to begin. The game lasted until 9:15 PM and we got home at about 10:30. This is a shot of the full moon rising over the Home-run Party Deck in right field:

We get to do it all over again today at a day game. The good news is that this will be our next to last game for the season.

I forgot to mention that we had met a nice couple (Gail & Stewart) - about our ages - here at the park. They are two spaces down from our rig and even though we don't know them that well yet, they have invited us to an Easter buffet at their motorhome on Sunday. That is a chance for us to meet more folks and get to know more of our new neighbors.

Our day leading up to the game last night was more relaxing than anything else. We did go to a burger place - Tru Burger - in Anthem for lunch and had a good meal before leaving for the game. This is a shot of Josie - in uniform - as we had a table outside on this sunny day:

I'll end this entry today with a birthday wish to our wonderful daughter Patty. We hope you have a very special day and we love you very much....
