Back from Baltimore

Catching the Rays and Orioles game at Camden Yards was great.  I finally got to see Matt Garza pitch a solid game, and despite the rain it was a great afternoon.  Some of the highlights, besides the win were seeing Jonny Gomes hit a monster HR to left field and Eric Kinske tossing me a ball.  I did ask Evan Longoria for an autograph before the game, and he Thumbnail image for longoria.jpg said "no, the game was about to start", and proceeded to stand around in front of me doing nothing for 7 minutes.  That aggravated me, as he is way to young to start that attitude.  But on the flip side I can understand it, he is at "work", and I am constantly denying people things that I know I can provide for no good reason.  In any case, it was a great game to watch.  I couldn't watch any of the Rays-Red Sox games since I was in a hotel all weekend, but it appears that I didn't miss too much as the Rays got swept out of town.  I am stoked that Sonnanstine was kept int he rotation, that gave me some hope that the brass is ready to win now.  I am looking forward to a better series north of the border in Toronto...although the Jays have been hard to beat as of late, getting some great starting pitching.  Let's go Rays.

I was at this game...had very good seats, and I must say that Edwin Jackson, although not playing, was the FRIENDLIEST player that I have ever come in contact with. Infact, he let me take his picture!!! It was a great game and I had a great time...and I can say that Edwin Jackson CERTAINLY made a HUGE fan out of me!

Evan Longoria shouldn't be denying an autograph to anyone!! It's his fans that will keep him "in the ballgame". C'mon Evan...what's your problem?? Maybe you should have asked him to autograph a $$$$$ bill!!
