Game 135 - Orioles vs. Rays

Good Deed, Good Time, Illness and Complete Failure!
Right before I headed to the Trop today, plans were changed and suddenly I had four free tickets for the game. If it would have been sooner I would have offered them up to a lucky Her Rays reader, but it was last minute. I didn’t want the tickets to be wasted though, so I took them to the game and gave them away to four lucky people standing in line. There’s nothing better than being generous to unsuspecting strangers.
Sunday games are interesting to say the least. There are lots of little people there. Some of them are super cute and others well let’s just hope their moms think their cute.
The game was great. Shields pitched awesome. I made a comment about his booty the other day. I must take it back. He must have been wearing baggy pants, cause his bum looked pretty good in person.
Rocco Baldelli is scorchin. I’m talking about his baseball skills people. He was three for three today. I hope the other teams keep leaving that third base line open for him.
Everything was super. We were enjoying the game, but about the sixth inning my friend started to feel a little queasy. It could have been the altitude since we were in the upper deck, but we’re not sure. I was pretty bummed, but I really didn’t want to see him hurl all over some innocent kid so we left. Luckily the Rays had a healthy lead.
This is where the story goes sour. In the car we were listening to the game on the radio. My friend is fine at this point? Guess a little fresh air did the trick. Anyway I was in the car when I heard that Barty hit his first homerun. The car! I missed it. I should have been there! He was four for four today, but I missed the big one. Fail! Ugh, my heart hurts. Sorry Jason, I would have cheered super loud. Even louder than I did in the car.
The Rays won big and swept the O’s, and as a bonus they picked up another game on the Red Sox. Let’s hope they can keep this up when the Yankees get to town. Go Rays!!
