Lopez is about to miss the ball when he swings.
.
.

I love baseball - have played it and watched it for more than 45 years. When I was growing up I sooooo wanted too play baseball (of course for the Cardinals!;-)). I wanted to be a pitcher so bad.

Could you imagine a job or career where you only win, are successful or are correct only 30% of the time and know that you will make more than $5 million USD/year??
.
.

it's a real challenge when you are a huge fan of the game and your team to balance watching the game while looking thru the viewfinder.....:-))

(From left to right) Codeman and yours truly, moments before the first pitch at last Friday's Chicago Cubs game. Yes, I am a complete dork.

Tomorrow we head to the University of Chief Illiniwek (As Scott Deihl, starting guard for the New Your Giants called it last night) for the home opener. I managed to snag (really cheap) season tickets for the whole 6 games schedule.

Hopefully, they will play better than the Chicago Cubs have since we went to the game in the photo above (0-5 since)...]]> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 03:38:19 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (Roadiepig)

"C'mon- let me hear ya! A one, a two..."

In case you don't know the history of American Baseball , this is the Harry Carey statue at Wrigley Field. Harry was a famous broadcaster for the St. Louis Cardinals , Oakland A's, Chicago White Sox, and later (and most famously)the Chicago Cubs. He always lead the crowd in the singing of the song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at every home game's seventh inning stretch.

If you want to see what I mean, click on the link below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo9fEADUqPs

People were 5 deep in front of the statue after the game, or I would have had someone snap a shot of Codeman and myself standing next to it...]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:01:49 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (Roadiepig)
