Home and Away
The Cleveland Indians are in town for a three game series against the Seattle Mariners.I managed to snag a pair of sweet tickets to today's game. Club seats. My butt was resting on cushioned awesomeness. It could continue to sit there as food is brought to me.:-D
Down at Safeco Field is strange. Going from one insurance-branded ball park to another -- Progressive Field to Safeco Field.Dafuq?In any case, I have to say that it's a nice place to play a game of baseball. The weather makes it even nicer!
The KeyBank logos in the same spot on the outfield wall still freak me out a bit. Flashbacks.We started off well enough -- top of the first, first batter knocks one off the foul post for a home run.That was the last time we were in the lead.
We were down 5-3, top of the ninth with the bases loaded and one. We hit into a double play to end it.

I know it's blasphemy to say, but the nice thing is that this was a game that we can't loose. If the Tribe win, then it's a good thing; my team wins with me wearing their t-shirt into enemy territory. If the home team -- for my adoptive city -- wins, then I'm still happy that we won.
Me and we.
Different.
But the same.
