I've been following Homer Bailey for a pretty long time, and I have to say, the worst part about him getting the call was that I never did manage to get to a Louisville game to watch him pitch there.  Obviously, his performance was not outstanding, but I was pretty impressed with how he didn't lose it, and managed to get out of some jams. Not too shabby for a kid who's 7 months older than me.

Yesterday I was in Section 411, Row A. (way way way out in left field) And somehow managed to get surrounded by Indians fans. Also, I managed to sort of anti-jinx the reds, by loudly insulting them. I left to go to the bathroom in the bottom of the 1st- phillips hits a home run. I make fun of Jeff Conine (not that Grandpa Jeff hasn't been pretty good. He's  just ... part of the oldest platoon ever), he homers. I cry when Mike Stanton warms up - pitches 2 scoreless innings.

Anyway. These pictures are pretty bad. 2nd tier, left field. Taken with my camera's 4xzoom, and through my 7x35 binoculars, which actually worked a little better than I thought it would. A little monopod action might actually make this technique useful.

The actual half-in-focus pictures I managed to take were of EE's butt, Dunn, and Hafner.
