Got all these pics to upload but I'm tired. Radio this morning then work and then Bulls game tonight. Okay, two of those things were actually lots of fun but 5.30 in the AM was still a long day ago. Still, it was fun to get to opening night at DBAP (thanks, S & D!). Bulls were playing the Norfolk Tides (Orioles affiliate) and they won a 2-1 squeaker, including giving up a triple to the Tides in the top of the ninth and then stranding him on 3rd to close out the win. Everyone's still shaking off the rust, I think. Not a lot of offense and a bit of sloppy fielding (mainly by Tides, who had 2 errors). Altho there were a few sharp plays -- a leaping grab at second and a crisply turned double play. And I sense that the pitchers are all on a pretty short pitch count. I think the Bulls used 5 and the Tides at least 3, maybe 4.
In between-innings entertainment, most of the faves were back: ants in the pants, fat suit sumo, t-shirt cannon, race w/ Wool E. Bull, mascot mobile. New for this season was a game where kids were trying to sink mini-basketballs, and one where guys had to spin around and then hit water balloons with a baseball bat while still dizzy.
My one big question from this evening: why does the Carolina burrito contain kielbasa and sauerkraut? I can see that as the Milwaukee burrito. But, Carolina? Shouldn't that contain pulled pork and/or cole slaw?
