Baseball and school

yesterday my mom and I went to the baseball game i thought I'd have to go to alone. I had fun, got 3 blankets (one is mine, one is my moms and the other my mom found for Lora - someone left it behind) and found the car without having to walk up and down the rows.

In case you didn’t see my tweet or FB update, Angels won 2-0!

Some guy, I don’t know if he was drunk, I’m going to say he was drunk, fell over some of the seats, broke a cup holder and hit a lady in the back of her head (it was when Torii Hunter was making this awesome catch that would have been a home run for the Indians). He got up and walked away but the lady’s head was pretty sore. She stayed for the rest of the game, but the guy left. I don’t know if security or whatever was able to talk to him.

My catcher dude, #5 Jeff Mathis is totally choking when at bat. During the exhibition games he was great. but on Saturday’s epic 14 Inning game, he choked twice. Last night, choked as well. Okay, choked is so negative. He wasn’t playing as well as I hoped he would. I still think he’s hot as heck, but ick, so not liking him right now. #25 Peter Bourjos on the other hand...he hit one of the home runs to score for the Angels, and he’s good looking. Yeah, I’m that shallow. I’ll root for all the guys - the team as a whole, but there are a few players who catch my eyes (looks. always the looks) and I’ll root especially hard for them...or something.

Going to try this slide show of pictures. if it doesn’t work properly, then I’ll post the individual pictures.

Today is day 4 of my new class and I don't have the book! e-mailed professor and student advisor and no response. called advisor twice and no return call. I'd buy the book myself (books are included in cost of tuition) but I don't think it would get to me in time. Next call will be to the dean. If I don't get some sort of resolution, I might have to take the course over and that would change my graduation date. eta book problem solved! the book for this advanced class was the pamphlet like book given with the main Paralegal Today book. That should have been listed in the syllabus! But good to know I have it and don’t have to buy anything.

I has the sad

My friend's daughter is in the hospital with a kidney infection...that has gotten into her blood stream and she might also have gallstones. This means I don’t have my baseball buddy. This also means I have an extra baseball ticket to tomorrow night’s game and no way to get there.

Thus, I has the sad.

My friend said that if my mom goes, to ask her if she, my friend, can have the fleece blanket (it’s the promotional give away).

I think I saw something about amtrak/metrolink and otca having service after home games so I’m going to look into that. and if it’s something I can swing, I’ll see about doing that tomorrow...and then getting picked up at the train station closer to home.

eta I can take metrolink to and from the game for $7. I’ll catch the train at 6:11 pm and get to Angels Stadium at 6:33 pm. The game starts at 7:05 pm so I’d have plenty of time to get to my seats. BIG plus is no matter what time the game is over, there’s a train waiting to go back so I wouldn’t have to leave the game early if it went into extra innings! Hmm thinking about it...I guess I really want that fleece blanket they’re giving away tomorrow.

And to top off my sadness, Angels are down against the Indians 4-0 (as of 8:25 pm)

I don’t even feel like watching Dancing with the Stars.

Angels v Dodgers baseball

The baseball game was so much fun! Lora and I got our pictures taken - we had on team shirts and I was carrying my team hat and didn't think to put it on. The Angels won - beat the Dodgers Monday night AND tonight. w00t! the suite we had was...sweet. lol we shared it with 6 other people from Lora's job + guests, so there was 12 of us total.

picked up our tickets for 5 more games. This is going to be the best baseball season...and the season we've gone to the most games to as well.

Lora and I picked the games we were going to based on the promotion they were giving away. That said, 4 of the 5 games are during the week and 1 is on Saturday.

April 12 Angels v Indians (50th Anniversary Fleece Blanket)
May 25 Angels v Athletics (Angels Cooler)
June 11 Angels v Royals (Angels Post-Game Concert [Saturday])
July 19 Angels v Rangers (Angels Hall of Fame Shirt)
August 16 Angels v Rangers (Angels 50th Anniversary Mug)

There might be a game on my birthday (September 9) and that is Angels v Yankees. Fireworks is the “promotion” and the players will be wearing a flashback jersey

Some pictures...

baseball!

Today was baseball day! So excited! Choir was canceled after church because Colleen forgot the music at her house so this left time for me to change clothes, Lora to get coffee, then we went to Walgreens for some snacks and headed to Angels Stadium.

We got there at 145 pm (in time for the National Anthem - a first!) and the game wasn’t to start until 205 pm. We parked on the correct side of the stadium for Gate 1 where our seats were, but walked the wrong direction and entered at Gate 6. We had to walk up a level then all the way around so that we could walk down to level 1.


Walking to our seats. Nice view of a part of the Stadium we’ve only seen from the OTHER side lol

Our seats? Field Box 105. OMG I didn’t realize how close to the field that is! I’m used to the “nose bleed” cheap seats. Even as we got to where the seats were there was a sign that was something to the effect of “watch for flying bats and balls”. I should have taken a picture! LOL


Our seats. see how close we are!

We got to watch the players on the field with some practice. I was still in awe at the seats. I told Lora I wanted to get season tickets for the section we were in. Pie in the Sky dream tho. Deposit for season tickets is $500 and I’m sure the Field Box section is super expensive. Still gonna research it though.


This was either right before or right after the National Anthem. BTW, the girl singing it....TOTALLY BETTER than Christina Aguilera. I’m just saying...

The game kind of started when I was people watching. I missed the first Padres player strike out. oops. and then later in the game, maybe Inning 2 or 3, a group of HOT guys sat in the row in front of us, so most of the time I was looking at this guy with a tattoo on his arm...and he had really nice teeth. I was jealous lol

Didn’t take many pictures. I was either chatting with the 2 ladies next to me or people watching.





The last one looks like we’re really far away. but we really weren’t.

In the end, the Angels won. 9-2.

Tuesday is another Angels game. this time from some club box seats. They’re behind home plate. Lora won them in a raffle at her job.
