Baseball is back! I love baseball, and the fact that they play every day from April through October means that there is always action to check out. It becomes that much sweeter when you live in a city that has a Major League team. While the Reds aren't exactly the best team in the bigs, it's nice to be able to head downtown and catch a game whenever the mood strikes me.
A few weeks ago, we had a streak of beautiful weather here in Cincy, so I went downtown and caught a couple games at the old ballpark. The first game I went to was with Lori, Ed, and Julie D. It was a beautiful day and a great day for baseball. The Reds lost, of course (10-2 to the Braves), but we had a good time. Chipper Jones hit a three-run homer, so that was good for my fantasy team.A few days later, I was lucky enough to get offered some free tickets. And not just any tickets, but ones that were only one row from the playing field behind the visitor's dugout!! Julie got a call from Andrea earlier in the week and she asked if we would want to go to the game with them. We were like, "Heck yes!!" So Julie and I went with Andrea and Scott to watch the Reds and Astros from primo seats!
Check out a few pics I took from field level:

2nd Row, Left: Wandy Rodriguez delivers
2nd Row, Right: Jay Bruce at the plate
3rd Row, Left: Rosie Red runs on the dugout
3rd Row, Right: Hampton, Oswalt, and Backe in the Astros dugout
Bottom: Brandon Phillips hits a homer in the 9th inning
Again, the Reds lost to Wandy Rodriguez and the Astros by the score of 8-3, but we still had a great time. The seats were amazing!! Julie and I didn't make it on the Kiss-Cam, but there will be plenty more games this summer :-)
