Goodbye Summer

Today, summer officially ended. On the last Redhawks homestand on my last day off, Charissa and I went to what is likely our last baseball game of the year. The REedhawks hold a slim lead over the dicivision and are likely playoff bound but I doubt that we'll get to go to any games. Tonight the Redhawks set a single season attendance record which will continue to gro until the homestand ends next Monday.

With a five run third inning, the Redhawks win 5-3 preserving a 1/2 game lead over Albuquerque. Not bad considering our starting pitcher, Ricardo Rodriguez who is on a rehab assignment from the Rangers, only lasted three pitches (1 ball, 2 strikes). Anyway, in honor of the end of baseball, we brought the camera and snaps some pics. Here they are for you.


Our guy goes down looking. I snapped the picture hoping he'd swing. We have a similar picture that Charissa took with the same result. Batter took a called strike...

Pre-game walk on the canal.

The Ballpark sign after the game. Goodbye until next spring our lady. Atleast I don't have to look at the statue of Mickey Mantle in his ugly Yankee uniform for the rest of the year.
