[2009 Baseball Tour] Part 6: Kauffman Stadium (Minnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals)
My Twins record in person:
2008: 3-0
2009: 0-2
XD; But this stop was SO. MUCH. WIN. Let's just get right to it.
Before the Game:-Drove all the way to KC. It took me about 3.5 hours, although I had to stop at 2 gas stations because the first one ran out of gas. ^_ ( Read more... ) -
[2009 Baseball Tour] Part 5: Busch Stadium (Minnesota Twins at St. Louis Cardinals)
"Can't... sleep... Pujols will eat me... Can't... sleep... Pujols will eat me..."
Yep, that was pretty much the story of the game. And the extreme heat. XD;
Before the game:-I found a really cheap rate for a hotel around the St. Louis area, so rather than risking oversleeping, traffic, overestimating how fast I could get there, and just general ( Read more... ) -
[2009 Baseball Tour] Part 4: Nationals Park (New York Mets at Washington Nationals)
I'm back, and just getting dry. But let's take a relaxed attitude and recap the baseball match. (Hey, since it's the Nye Mets, I had to throw in at least ONE Apu joke. XD)
Before the game:-The drive was long and uneventful, if not irritating because my rental car didn't have an MP3 player. XD; But on the bright side, it did get 3-4 mpg more than ( Read more... ) -
[2009 Baseball Tour] SIDETRIP:Return to Great American Ball Park (Atlanta Braves at Cincinnati Reds)
Things to do during a blowout baseball game:
-Take pictures of garbage blowing about.
-Quote Family Guy with others in the crowd.
-Laugh at Cincy's Under .200 Crew. (I'd take Orix's Under .200 Crew from 2007 over them.)
...Yep, it's kinda like that. XD;
Before the Game:-Left early after buying SPF 45 sunblock and got a decent parking spot. Had ( Read more... ) -
[2009 Baseball Tour] Part 3: Minute Maid Park (Cincinnati Reds at Houston Astros)
I managed to find free Internet at this airport. (Their main Internet connection is pay-to-use, but I found a free one somehow.) I also managed to avoid the bad weather this weekend, just barely. While yesterday the Astros likely played with the roof closed, today was a beautiful day. (TOO beautiful, given my sunburn. XD;) So here I am, waiting ( Read more... ) -
[2009 Baseball Tour] Part 2: Rangers Ballpark in Arlington (Kansas City Royals at Texas Rangers)
a.k.a. Powerless Rangers. (Seriously, I was all set to use some sort of Power Rangers reference for this recap. And then the Rangers get shut out. XD ( Read more... ) -
[2009 Baseball Tour] Part 1.2: Return to Turner Field: KKKKKKenshin KawaKami
Turner Field was nice and cool today, not just because of the storm last night, but also because of all the fanning. XD The Braves struck out 13, including 8 by Kenshin. (Hence the extra K's in the title.)
Before the game:-I only got 4 hours of sleep, but I took a nap after lunch. Woke up at 2, and arrived at the stadium at about 3:15 ( Read more... ) -

[2008 Baseball Tour] BONUS: Comerica Park, Detroit (Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers)
Um... let's just skip to the point where I meet up with prototype_axl at the People Mover station by Comerica. This is a happy post, and work-related angst/venting/pent-up anger/etc. are hereby banninated from this post. They'll probably be posted sometime this weekend though. Or Tuesday, when the shit hits the fan. XD;
-Meet with prototype_axl, and by that time it was ( Read more... )
