Well, after Friday night's rain-out, Saturday was a double-header. And, boy was it ever!
* First game: damned umpire got in the way of the 3rd baseman's plays TWICE! TWICE! (The 2nd one, he was also in the way of the catcher - 3B was backing him up). And we're talking good, solid, $other_team was going to be called 'out' plays. Bad umpire!
** The first play he was in the way - he was standing in front of 3rd and JUMPED OVER the ball that was thrown to the 3B, so that runner ended up safe.
** The second play he was in the way - he was standing up the catcher's ass, nearly blocking him from moving to catch the pop-foul. The 3B was coming in to back up the catcher on that play, but the ump was between 3B and C! OMFG! ump - get the fuck out of the way!
** $home_team lost that game :(
* Second game: new umps! (yay) but the 7-inning game went on for 14 freaking innings!
** $home_team won this one! \o/
We noticed that our usual catcher wasn't playing tonight and that we had 2 new guys catching. So, checked out the team's webpage -- DUDE! The hottie catcher got bumped up to Double-A! This is a guy that, fans last year in their old affiliate city, were counting out of the running and as a 'bust' based on his being drafted straight out of high school. He was the #1 batter on $home_team and his catching was strong. So go him! If he makes it to the majors, we'll be doing a little happy dance. He's a good kid. Oh - and my nephew has his autograph (twice) on a baseball. =)
Me? I'm going to bed - have work in the AM - ugh.
