I keep the hours of a madman, but I still manage to make it to more than a few ST games. Let me know which games you're going to. Maybe I'll run into you.

Kennedy pitched like dog butt
So basically, he pitched like Ian Kennedy.
Finally back after hitting Dunedin, Clearwater, and Kissimiee.
The Phils are looking good...their scrubs keep blowing games late, but the starters and guys competing for the roster spots are sharp.
The Braves' stadium at Disney is one of the most gorgeous baseball cathedrals I've ever seen.
Joe West was literally six feet from where I was in the stand when I started screaming at him for a typical bad Joe West call.
...he just smiled and waved.
Bright House Network field is beautiful, too.
Dunedin's stadium looks pretty damn old, and kind of run down, but I had row one tickets, on the field, so it was fantastic.
Great trip...I'm so going again next year.
