Sunday: Go Local Sports Team
Sep. 18th, 2024 10:12 pmI took Sunday off of work in order to go to a baseball game with my mom and Taylor. I'm not really into sports of any kind (at least not the big team sports, though baseball is the one I'd pick if I had to), but their company goes out to a game as an annual event. They get a suite, so it's one of those private sections, and there's a bunch of free food and alcohol. A bunch of company clients come, and everyone gets a +1. So it's a good time once a year!
This year they were playing against the Cubs, so it was like a built-in consolation prize, whoever won. My mom is from Chicago, so the Cubs were her team when she was younger.

At the gate, a reminder of the last time the Rockies were good, lol. (Sadder with every passing year.)
( 4 more below the cut: )
The Rockies lost, 6-2. There were a few pretty good plays (the Rockies' center fielder had two really dramatic catches; there were some impressive home runs; lots of high-stakes "bases are loaded" type situations.) Kind of low-energy compared to other games I remember going to, and probably as many Cub fans in the stands as there were Rockies fans, ha.
It was at least fun to go to, maybe especially because I wouldn't ever pay to go myself, haha.
