Great pics! Keep em com'n

Loved every bit of it!
You're pretty good for a "terrible" photographer. Really, REALLY nice shot of the scoreboard and the dancing fountains! Same goes for the fountains in the Perez picture.
Josh Rupe was --->this<--- close to joining my fantasy team based on his picture alone. Seems the Royals got smart and designated the guy for assignment after not being able to retire anyone from our sorry club. Hope your trip continues to be a blast and you keep us updated bud.

Glad you guys are liking it. Just got back from game 2 (assuming it's over, can't imagine they keep going with 5 innings played).
No pictures today due to the rain, but it was another good game. Royals ruined every potential rally they had with sac bunts, which leads the guys ahead of me to start screaming about how Retarded sac bunts are.
Then Mike f'in Redmond comes through in the 5th with a.....sac bunt. Droob knocks in 2 runs. Fausto is Bug Game-esque mowing em down through the elements. Thank God we're winning these games.
Next up.....Wrigley on Friday. Assuming the weather lightens up, I'll get some more pics up here.
And Bean....I'm glad I got that Rupe picture when I did. Could be a collector's item. Maybe I'll get him to sign it.

Awesome! Keep the pics coming.

Awesome! Pretty cool that you got to see McCutchen go off too.
Where were your seats?

Edit: Doh! Stupid question if you took that shot from your seats, I now realize. I just remember running around all over that place with the camera when I was there far too long ago.

Thanks.....I have been to both KC and Wrigley.....both great places to catch a game.

Ah, it's been an exhausting last couple days but there have been a few hours of baseball-inspired bliss. First a few more pictures from Wrigley.
Obligatory "Wrigley Field entrance" photo.
The view coming up from the stairs to catch BP. Amazing.
Upper deck before the game to see the whole field.
Like Bean said, McCutchen was everywhere in this game, and I took a bunch of pictures of him. Mainly because he was one of the only interesting players in the entire game.
Evan Meek vs. Derrek Lee
More McCutchen. Crossing the plate after a solo shot.
Sweet Lou reminding Carlos Zambrano he's being paid $18 million to be a set up man (he gave up 3 earned in a tie game in the 8th)
And there's much more, but they become pretty redundant. Obviously it was another great time overall, followed up nicely by...

Miller Park.
(Ryan Braun at bat)
Not as many photos due to the focus on beer.
Of course I did make sure to catch the sausage race.
And honored the winner (Polish) by eating one of his own.
And of course washed it down with a High Life.
As I said, not many pictures of actual baseball, but...
Here's Chase Utley
And a look at the scoreboard
And a man close to my heart and yours....
Parking was juuuuust a bit outside.
Another great time, obviously. It's hard to find anything to complain about with this much baseball happening.
Next up: Jake/PNC.

Yep, just slightly down the first base side, in the "second" level. Partially obstructed by one of those damn beams, but I managed.

Kauffman's pretty high tech (and in a sectioned off "stadium section" of the city) where Wrigley is obviously just a historic place. Miller was really impressive, too. My pictures didn't do justice to how good it looks. Walking around inside the stadium was a little hectic, but the field and all the seats looked great, another great atmosphere.

Awesome dude.
Is it me or does Wrigley looks like a minor league ball park?

Yep, especially the concourses. No doubt it's a great place to watch baseball, though.
Unfortunately I was at the game last night. I took this one seconds before Wood gave up his leadoff triple.

No kidding. I wonder if Santana will be enough to re-gain some fan interest.
Speaking of drawing interest....I went to PNC yesterday. About as enjoyable as a game can get when there's a total of one player worth a damn, on either side.
View from across the Clemente bridge
From my seats
And of course the one player worth a damn....Andrew McCutchen. (Jason Heyward sat out....came in to pinch hit and walked)

Went to Huntington Park. Very nice park. Santana is fun to watch. Weglarz is hitting below .100, but showed off his arm with 2 outfield assists and got the walk-off single in the 11th inning. Brian Bocock, as expected, is an absolute wizard at short.
I wish I took more pictures of the actual park....but I was a bit preoccupied with a certain player.
At some point I was struck with a pretty incredible surprise. Can't imagine anyone but Bean will remember this but look who I found...
So slick with the glove, and so cool after hitting a bomb to left field.
Good time.
