Take me out to the ball game.

GTG and I went to the Cardinals ball game today with Betsy G, Rob, Dave G, G-Dad. Beatiful hot and muggy day for a game. Eight rows from the grass!

We witnessed a foul ball strike a shirtless beer-gut fan right in the kisser. A lot, lot, lot of blood. Felt bad for the guy. Really, I did. I was not allowed to talk about the blood to GTG for the rest of game… Something about gagging.

There is a secert dugout bar just to the left of section 137. Go down some stairs down a hall, open a dark door, and there you will find a prevalent supply of beer, dogs, nachos, and AC!!!! GTG and I retreated there for an inning.

The best moment of the game (sorry Betsy and Rob - they had to leave for a plane back to Florida) was the bottom of the 11th. The Cards were tied with the Astros 3-3, So Taguchi hits in the winning run to win the game! Awesome!

Check out the Flickr for pics from the game.

    That was fun times. It was so good to see you guys! Totally sad I missed Taguch in the clutch. I was somewhere between Busch and Lambert on the Metra. Boo.

    Watched a kid eat a cracker off the floor with permission from his dad. Sick. 5 second rule does NOT apply in public transportation.

    Back in Florida now. It’s hot. And there’s no rain.

    But I have a new house! and my boyfriend is HOT!

    Miss you guys..
