Warming up to play


Butterfinger warming up with the pitcher before an inning.

Number 13


If I read the stats right (and I would like you to know its very probable I read them wrong), this is our best hitter. This is also at a much more recent game. The most recent one at home, I think.

Warming Up 2

Warming-up.

Warming Up


Butterfinger walking out to catch while the picher warmed up. He didn't play much at first, or at least not when I was watching. Injury or something I think.

WEL



The first few games of the season were incredibly chilly, but bright. So yes, both the coat and the sunglasses were nessecary. But as for the gansta pose, well, I think my Skittle could have skipped that. Me and my other Skittle decided she looked like a Weird Eskimo Lady. Her nickname for the week was WEL.

The White

M&M batting in his white uniform. They wore these toward the begining of the season. Now they've moved on to blue. I have no idea if this has any significance or not.

Baseball

.....My Skittles and I have a fairly new obsession: baseball. I think we've been to every home game. We couldn't always stay the entire time, but hey, five minutes is better than nothing, right? My Skittles went to a few last year, and I never went to one. But this year has been different. We've been following their progress pretty consistently. I have to admit that this is the first time in my twenty years of life that I've had any prolonged interest in a sport I wasn't in. To my surprise, I've found spectating is pretty fun.
.....The reason for our new interest? I don't really know. I'd like to blame it on the baseball boys in our bible study, but the ones we talk to the most really don't play. I think I'll just chalk it up to the M&M era and say we are going so we can find out if he's as good as he said he was. So far, he isn't. But he's really not that bad, either.
.....I took some pictures to commemorate this interest, just in case its a one time thing for me.
