take me out to the ball game
This post is off-topic, but I know at least a few of my readers also love the National Past-time.
Cleveland has been blessed by beautiful September weather. So when I had the chance to go to today’s game (a rare day game during the week; it was seniors day), I jumped at the opportunity. I wasn’t disappointed.
I even took a few pictures with my trusty, fit-in-my-pocket digital camera.
C.C. pitched a great game and the Indians basically closed the book on Detroit, winning 4-2. Casey Blake hit another homer. It was an exciting game down to the end with the Indians having to work their way out of a bases-loaded jam in the 8th inning. (They did it with no damage and the Jake was LOUD!)
Baseball has been the way I’ve marked time through chemo. I started during spring training, I’m set to finish just as the Indians should be clinching the Central Division. I get to enjoy the World Series unmolested.
Clockwise: Grady gets a hit; C.C. delivers some heat; an absolutely gorgeous day at the ballpark

I though that the Tigers had a shot to catch the Yankees or the Indians. Both teams have been playing lights out. While I am unhappy that the Indians are doing so well, I am happy for you because they are your team.
Excellent pictures! I miss living in a big city so much. Thanks for posting these. They are GREAT.
Turtle, I think the Tigers are “underplaying” much the same way the Indians were last year. I think they (the Tigers) will be very tough next year.
thanks, GB :)
Great shots! Looks like a perfect day for a ball game!
Nice post and pics Jen. The Tribe earned it and helped my Yankees by taking it to the Tigers. This is going to be a great October - no matter who goes the distance!
