baseball: usa national collegiate team vs. south korea

baseball: usa national collegiate team vs. south korea, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty four. Our Bulls mini-plan has turned out to be full of delightful surprises; trading the tickets on nights we don’t want to use them — I say, “Could you get us something near the visitor’s bullpen, on an aisle?” and the nice…

baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls

baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty three. The depressing thing about watching the Tides, besides them getting absolutely spanked by the Bulls, is knowing that these are the guys who still aren’t good enough to play on the really, really terrible Orioles. Sigh. My ball club, ladies and gentleman. We’re…

baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, july ’10

baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, july ’10, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty two. I think seeing the Gwinnett Braves play would be more interesting if I cared more about their big club and knew more about their farm system. But I don’t. Apparently this kid, Jordan Schafer, is a big deal. He appears to…

baseball: louisville bats (reds) @ durham bulls (rays)

baseball: louisville bats (reds) @ durham bulls (rays), originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty one. I am terribly fond of the Durham Bulls; it pleases me to see so many guys who came through Durham doing so well in Tampa Bay right now. (Except for Matt Joyce, who is hitting .206. But I still love him.)…

baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. If this were a “grateful” holiday, I would be grateful for whiskey, baseball, independence, shep., hot dogs, pie, and my family. All very American things! Happy 4th, y’all. Go out and celebrate as you best see fit.

yanks @ o’s, originally uploaded by minervacat. When I was small — single-digited, in fact — my father taught me how to keep a baseball scorecard. I like to tell people that it was so I would sit still at games, and pay attention, but I think it was really because he knew how, and…

baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls

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….

there is an epic thunderstorm heading our way

baseball: georgia southern @ college of charleston, originally uploaded by minervacat. Rocking my world in terms of inspiration the last two weeks: Kick ass photos from punk magazine Maximum Rocknroll. HOLY SHIT, you guys, these photos, oh my God. A look at thousands of abandoned pools at foreclosed houses in California. Supremely creepy and sad….
