Baseball Photos and notes -- No Art Today.

No art for the art fans. What can I say? Working on taxes and then to the game. We do enjoy these baseball games, more art soon!

Hey, the Longhorns won the first game of the Texas Tech series. It was a wild game is several ways. At the start of the game it was 73 degrees and 55 degrees F. when we left. The wind was blowing so hard and it was coooooold in the stands. We had jackets, hats and blankets. People that don't usually go to the games were in shorts and t-shirts and looking at us like we were nuts. Well, we looked at the weather forecast! As the temperature dropped then they knew!

In the third inning Tech scored 2 runs and we thought, "Oh, no." Opponents have scored in the third inning the last few games that the Horns lost. But not tonight, the Horns came back and scored 5 runs in the bottom of the third and went on to win 9 - 5. You can see on the scoreboard that Tech had 5 errors. Whew. That makes 50 for them so far this season. That is a lot. Read all the great stuff on Joanna's page and the official story on the official site. They do have some great close up photos.

You can see the wind blowing the flags. Usually only two or three of the players wear the knee length pants, tonight they all had them on. Really looks like baseball. Guess they were trying to change their luck! Click the image for larger size.

Tech has several players under 5'7". Look at the difference compared to Brandon Belt.

Look at all the Longhorns on base! Something we haven't seen for a while and I think they were loaded three times in the third inning. Yipee!

Hook-em was running around and came up our way. He had on a white shirt tonight, different! I like the orange cast on the kid.

And the score. Hard to take a photo in the dark. I took the fireworks but the photo was way too blurry.

The temperature should be about 63 degrees tomorrow. We will still need jackets in the shade in the windy stadium. They are having a special ceremony to retire Brooks Keischnick's number before the game. We will try to be there early. His number is right above our seats. Joanna wrote about it on her page with links to the official story.
