Baseball

Another sign of spring. The Binghamton Mets (AA) had a successful home opener last night. In the local paper the preview of the game was given equal weight with the news that the refreshment stands would now be serving kielbasa. As well as attempting to make the world's longest spiedie at a home game in May.

Spiedies, beer and salt potatoes. Mmmm, it's baseball season in the Southern Tier. Still a bit cold for my taste with so many night games on the schedule, but once it warms up, I'm there.

Busy weekend of writing ahead. I'd hoped to borrow one of mizkit's exploding cats, and was saddened to learn they were metaphorical. Ah well, guess I must do it the old-fashioned way.

Minor league ball is the best. The players are still at that unpredicatable stage where anything can happen from pickles to pitching perfect games. The players are willing to sign balls and talk to the kids, and season tickets are cheap, so you can sit with the same people every game.

And when you shout insults at the umpires, they can actually hear you.

I miss the San Jose Giants (AA). We had season tickets for a few years for them, but employer holds season tickets for the nearest AAA club, and I've got the tickets for the 16th! (If the rain has finally stopped by then.)

Exactly. And it's just fun to be there, even on those days when my team is down by fourteen runs.

Here's hoping the rain will have stopped by the 16th!

Honestly, if they were literal exploding cats I would be *very* *very* worried!

Well my friend jennifer_dunne has a cat with projectile fur--her ability to shed has to be seen to be believed. I was hoping you had found a breed of cat that shed words instead. Would be a neat twist on the old alchemist's challenge, changing cat fur into prose.
