SEASON GAME.. WAVELAND 17 SHEFFIELD 4

A little early bp by the Pirates resulting in 5 on Sheffield and 4 on Waveland.

Young ballhawk in training Aaron grabbed a couple deep drives on Sheffield while
I corralled 3 . Ken , all by himself on Waveland handled the 4 hit his way

Garrett Jones , I believe , Ill have to double check later , hit one over the bleachers
that nailed a truck on Sheffield leaving a big ol' dent in the side VIDEO



Nice start . To be continued at 4:30

4.30 .... 5 more during regular BP ...blah

Game time : Mikey Nick and Matt went inside on their free tickets ... with the former 2 taking to the upper deck
whiLe Matt had a bleacher seat . Matt came close to a gamer .... 10ft he said ... ? Really ? , not really ... lol
but that was the claim after the Koyie Hill Home run to right field .

Now think for a minute what you think 10 feet looks like ....and then think what " close " is .....now tell me if THIS
is what you pictured .



You can see Matt in the far right ... followed by all those fans and the one fan far left picking up the ball ..

Sooooooo Close......... lol .

No early bp , but the Cubs led by Carlos Zambrano did some damage hitting 9 on Waveland.

Carlos , batting right handed due to the lefty starting for the Pirates hit one high off the
Horseshoe casino building ... almost onto the roof. Aaron came away with that prize after
it bounced all the way back to Wrigley's outer wall. George came away from 3 playing
nearly 480 ft away from home near the alley. Matt , Metin and Nick also grab a few .

Nothing in the game however . More details plus video soon ...

Not a lot of action , but some interesting plays .

Here Rich throws his artificial hip just enough to block Matt from the gate ... lol .

Rich promises to cook me a burger next time he goes down there to get a ball




Later Metin played a ball perfectly ...over running it just enough to get proper extension
... only to have it pop out of his glove ... lol. I think his new name is Toaster Jr.

Rain prevented the Reds from taking their cuts on the field. The Cubs did hit 3 out
during the rain shortened batting practice. Two balls hit the Toyota sign , with one
still finding its way onto Waveland. Thats now 5 totals balls hit off the sign or the
posts since in first went up in June just before the Sox series , none of them game
home runs . That means ... if I did the math correctly ... 189 balls (bp) and 6 (game )
homers have missed the sign with 2 of the 5 still finding their way to the street.

No batting practice due to the late game last night and early morning showers. And usually
with a day game after a night game on get-away day means low scoring ... so im not going !

15-3 ! ? Well at least I didn't miss any game home runs on the Avenues .

Reds back in town this weekend with the wind blowing out !!
