baseball: pawtucket red sox @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. I love the Carolina baseball team a whole damn lot, but not enough to sit in the rain on a Monday to watch Matt Harvey1 pitch in an intrasquad scrimmage, so instead, have a stray shot from the Bulls/Pawsox series this summer. That starting…

baseball: international league governer’s cup

baseball: international league governer’s cup, originally uploaded by minervacat. I totally lied to you about having seen our last baseball game of 2009. We splurged — and by splurged I mean we spent ten bucks apiece, instead of $7 or $8 — on Bulls/Yankees International League Championship Series tickets for last night. Fourth row on…

baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. The final moments of summer, although North Carolina will have one more heatwave before fall finally gets here. We did turn off the air-conditioning tonight, though.

baseball: charlotte knights @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. This is Jake Peavy. He is very, very attractive. He is, when he is healthy, very, very good at baseball. He has a heeeeeeeatah, as our drunk ex-Masshole once-and-future seatmate Aaron would say. We sat fifteen feet from where he threw bullpen today. He is…

baseball: scranton/wilkes-barre yankees @ durham bulls

baseball: scranton/wilkes-barre yankees @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and…

baseball: syracuse chiefs @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sometimes good photography is about knowing the technical stuff, or knowing how to adjust the technical stuff on the fly; it’s about having a good eye, understanding composition and color. There’s a lot that goes into it — I bust my ass to get better,…

baseball: salem red sox @ kinston indians

baseball: salem red sox @ kinston indians, originally uploaded by minervacat. THINGS THAT ARE WRONG WITH THIS PHOTO: No one is wearing Carolina blue. Tim Federowicz (catching) is wearing #22, not #19. Tim Fedroff (batting) is wearing #15, not #16. One Tim is batting while another Tim is catching. THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS,…

worth getting up for: july

baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Currently making it worthwhile to get up in the morning: a commute that allows for a full album there, a full album back, paid for by the Feds; crunchy-guitar girl-fronted quasi-punk from the Northwest; Big Gulp-sized Diet Cokes from gas stations; good conversation about music;…

baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls

baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Tonight, sitting on my porch in the damp twilight listening to the Dexateens and smushing mosquitos, every minute I spend without a camera in my hands feels wasted. It’s only almost August, not almost January, but I’m making a lot of resolutions in my head…

baseball: pawtucket red sox @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. I should spend more time in Durham. The sunsets at the DBAP always seem to be spectacular.
