Game 1

October 28, 2009

Phillie’s win! (Sorry Dad)
It was a fun game. The Phillies pitcher was on his game. He made two fielding plays where he barely had to move (pop-up and comebacker caught behind his back). His looks were priceless and deadpan. The announcers thought he was yawning on the pop-up.

We always eat “baseball food” for Game 1. Hot dogs, peanuts, cracker-jack Crunch-and-Munch (a stand-in), and from this year added pistachios and pecans. [I also had my carrots left over from lunch. We made baked potatoes at work for lunch, and I just didn’t get all of my brought food down the hatch.]

I am rooting for the Phillies (Raul Ibanez). I think Carl wants that as the ultimate result, but he wants 7 games.

Tomorrow we may go off-site to watch the game since the Seattle Sounders FC playoff game is on at the same time, and on ESPN2. A multiple TV location may show both.
