NO More Night Games!

We traded our tickets from the cancelled (lightning and rain) game last week for ones tonight when the Mariners played the Chicago Cubs. Most of the home games this week were at night, so there wasn't a lot of choice. Our seats were in the box seats above home plate. But you really don't get very good pictures from there as there is that protective screen in front of you...

The game was at 7:05. We left Auntie Violet at 5 PM. I had suggested that we should leave at 4 PM, but Forry thought two hours was plenty of time (it's usually an hour's drive to the ball park in Peoria), We got there about 7:15, three players into the first inning!

Afternoon traffic is horrendous -- and of course, there was a 3-4 vehicle collision in the middle of it all. Most of the time we did well to make 20 miles per hour.

Then the Cubs beat the Mariners 6-4, though Justin Smoak did have a home run. We got home at 11:30...

At least Gonzaga won their game today, although that one was pretty scary too!
