Pirates 10, Reds 2
Saturday, I took Julie to her first Reds game. I thought I was taking her to her first Major League Baseball game, but she told me at the game that she had been to a Texas Rangers game while she was in college. Oh well. It was a great day for a baseball game with the sun shining, clear skies and cool temperatures. Here are some random thoughts from the game:
- I’m slowly learning to listen to the girl. When she offered sun screen, I turned her down. Now, my hands are roasted. I wore long sleeves and a hat, so my hands got the worst of it.
- Great American Ballpark is a nice place to watch a game. There’s really not a bad seat in the house.
- The Reds are going to have to figure out a way to generate some offense. It’s a good thing they play in a “hitter’s” park.
- Mike Lincoln couldn’t throw a strike to save his life, and when he did, they hit it out of the park. Going into the 9th down 5-1, Lincoln surrendered a grand slam and a solo homer. Final score: 10-2.
- I had a good time keeping score during the game. I haven’t done that since my high school days.
- Pictures coming sometime this week.
