baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty. Rain delay and all — I was given a damn good ticket and I used it to take a lot of clooooose up photos.

baseball: ny mets @ baltimore orioles
baseball: ny mets @ baltimore orioles, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty nine. The Orioles, man. The Orioles are not a good baseball team. The beer was tasty, though, and the company was good, and even though he’s not hitting worth crap, Matt Wieters does continue to exist, a fact that I’m pretty into. So it…
baseball: west tenn diamond jaxx @ carolina mudcats
baseball: west tenn diamond jaxx @ carolina mudcats, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty eight. I wrote and saved and didn’t post, literally, nine or ten drafts of this. Angry letters to Mariners fans who keep getting the facts wrong. Long love letters to college baseball that no one else cares about. But in the end….
baseball: va tech @ unc
Twenty six and twenty seven. The Heels sent seniors Ryan Graepel, Mike Cavisinni and Colin Bates (a redshirt junior who graduated in May) off with a resounding series sweep of Virginia Tech this weekend. Bittersweet because we’re still out of the ACC tournament thanks to Georgia Tech failing to get it done in sweeping BC,…
baseball: unc @ duke, game two
baseball: unc @ duke, game two, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty five. (Albeit without a new photo, because I went out without a battery in the camera last night, like a complete moron. This one’s from early March.) If you’d told me two years ago that I would get a little vapoury when Matt Harvey…

baseball: jacksonville suns @ carolina mudcats
Twenty four. Proof that I cannot work the internets correctly: I bought tickets to last night’s Mudcats game, cheerfully thinking that they were to a Mudcats game against the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx — not, you know, the Jacksonville Suns, who take the obvious abbreviation JAX on the Southern League schedules. Luckily the Diamond Jaxx…
poetry for monday
baseball: wake forest @ unc, game 2, originally uploaded by minervacat. Antilamentation (Dorianne Laux) Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read to the end just to find out who killed the cook. Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark, in spite of your intelligence, your sophistication. Not the lover you…
baseball: wake forest @ unc, game 2
baseball: wake forest @ unc, game 2, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty three. A large part of Carolina’s problems this season can be linked to the fact that, before yesterday, they hadn’t won a game on a Saturday since March 20. It’s nice to go into Sunday knowing that you’ve already taken the series, and…
baseball: swb yankees @ durham bulls
baseball: swb yankees @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty two. North Carolina has ten minor league teams (if you count the Charlotte Knights, who technically represent Charlotte but play in South Carolina), which is the fourth most in the nation. (Florida at 13, California at 12, and New York at 11 come out…
