Finally got around to uploading pictures from my trip this summer. Here are shots from the first leg, Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. More pictures from both days can be found here
Manny Being Manny
Shawn Chacon attempts to kill Ed Wade, which as far as most people (including me) are concerned makes him a True American Hero and is immediately cut. Manny Ramirez shoves the Boston travel secretary to the ground because he tells him he might not be able to get him 16 tickets for a game and [...]
Angels Lose A Shared No Hitter
I really, really really hate the Angels. They play the Yankees every years on Old Timer’s Day, which is my favorite event at Yankee Stadium, and every year the Yankees lose. In 1998, the Yankees had a losing record to only one team, the Angels. So, don’t get down on me because I am excited [...]
Pat Venditte Is The Best Gimmick
I went to the first game of my Staten Island Yankees ticket plan today, and was very excited to see Pat Venditte pitching. I even used my camera to grab some videos: End of his warmups, you can see him switch arms here: First batter, throwing lefty: Second batter, throwing righty: Third batter: throwing lefty [...]

How To Waste A Pitcher At-Bat
I was looking over the box score of the Phillies/Giants game and saw this: IBB – O Vizquel 3 (by A Eaton, C Durbin) Wondering why anyone would ever intentionally walk Omar Vizquel I dug through the play-by-play. I figured maybe it was to try and set up a 1-out double play. No, it was [...]
Good Seats Still Available In Kansas City
It always makes me a little depressed to see a stadium empty like this, but given the way the Royals organization has been run in recent times I can’t blame people for not pouring out in droves. And to be fair it is the first game of a double header. I also completely understand not [...]
