Another Day in the Sun
Ho Hum. Another day at the ball park! This was Angels 8, Texas Rangers 5. The "big guys" all started except for Anderson and Figgins. Lackey pitched well the first three and several homers added to the thrills. Here's Kotchman rounding 3rd after a base clearing homer.
Vladdy hit a solo homer after knocking in a run earlier. There were lots of these little celebrations.
The weather was perfect, the food OK and as always we enjoyed watching and listening to the people around us. Once again we sat in the middle of some corporate guys on an "outing" and they spent a lot of their time studying their Blackberrys and talking shop. I wonder if they realize how insecure they are. I could read emails over their shoulders and they just yapped away about their sales figures and office personalities.
They left early and then a newbie Angels pitcher came and sat in front of us next to his mom and girlfriend. I didn't recognize him (he is from Texas) and refrained from poking him in the shoulder and saying "who are you and will you sign my program in case you become famous"! He mentioned he'll be pitching Saturday so maybe I can find out who it was.
We stopped on the way home and bought a pound of See's Chocolates. Since we weren't too hungry we just had dessert first...chocolate and vanilla vodka. Later, while watching a movie, (Charlotte Gray) we decided on tuna salad and pepper kettle chips. Perfect ending to a relaxing day
