Rumor has it...

CC will be on the hill tomorrow!!! VERY exciting!

Today

Today was fun but Wednesday will be much better. I didn't update much
for two reasons. 1) I wasn't emotionally invested in either team one
way or the other (thus further illustrating my release from Braves
fandom). 2) Due to the fact that the Red Sox are a popular team the
only tickets available at the gate were standing room only. It was
neat to see 80% of the Japanese media there to witness their two sons
take the hill. It was also cool to see how tiny Pedroia is in person.
One annoying thing was the fact that the braves and the sox both wore
the same uniform, blue jersey and blue hat...very strange.

P.S. Sox fans are obnoxious. Michele has attended games where Yankee
fans were in force as well as today where the crowd was easily 90% in
favor of Boston and she agrees...awful.

P.P.S. Smoltz was there :(

One last thing

Youk looks even stupider in person at the plate.

All Japanese affair

Kenshin kawakami on the mound for the braves.

Dice k

A little late but we are here. Missed the top half of the inning but
ready now.

Blarg

There are gator fans everywhere...gross.

On our way...

...to Orlando finally. For those of you who have yet to experience
scheduling travel around a baby, please enjoy what you have. Our
orignal plan was to be on the road by 4am but alas here it is 5:03 and
we gave been on the road for only 15 minutes. Luckily for me Michele
got really good at all of this when she was driving all over for her
interviews. If it wasn't for her we wouldn't be leaving until noon...

4 Days and counting...

Until game #1!!
