Well the first 2 games were tough losses; the first we were run ruled by Lousiana-Lafayette 11-0 in 5 innings, and the second we lost 6-4 after taking a 4-3 lead into the 7th inning. Thankfully the only services I provided were some bitching high fives, some prewrap and my fruit ninja iPod touch game. This is what provided almost 2 hours of entertainment between our games. I of course got smoked, but tomorrow is another day.
Besides the losses on the field and in fruit ninja, the weather was beautiful, sunny and 75, reminder us mainers that there IS a sun, and how wonderful a sunburn feels in February. The people down here are also as friendly as advertised, and ought so chatty. I was stopped by at least 6 people just walking in to the field, asking how our trip was and if we were enjoying the weather. "no, this sunny and 75 is terrible. I prefer my skin to freeze off my body the minute I open the door". The game announcer was also quite entertaining, but also reminded us that the south is a different world. Between innings he made the following comments over the sound system; "funny they're called the blackbears, cause they're all white" and "I think I saw a Blackbear this morning, but it was just the black guy that lives across the street". Were for sure well below the mason Dixon line.
Well We have 2 more games today, so hopefully the outcome is a little better. Now time to finish my coffee and hand out some advil
