Take me out to the ballgame

I'm back in Boston after being gone for a week and a half.

The first day of the trip was a White Sox game at Cellular Field against the Astros. I can't say I was all that impressed with the stadium. But, I was quite impressed with the grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game, but the Sox still lost. I was not impressed with the jackass sitting in front of us (who looked suspiciously like my asshole landlord) who insisted on loudly whistling repeatedly each time the Sox came up to bat.



The next day was our first out of two games at Wrigley Park, against the Brewers where the Cubs lost both games. Wow, this ballpark is amazing.

Game One










Before the second game at Wrigley on Tuesday, we left Stone Groove (trying) to snooze in the Chicago Cultural Center while we went to Millennium Park. (And by "we", I mean me, Listmaker, Kristin his old co-worker who we stayed with, and her two cute kids.)

Millennium Park




The coolest part of the park was the huge egg shaped mirror thing that reflected the city's skyline.

Day 2 at Wrigley






After leaving Chicago, and not finding a hotel until 3AM in the morning, we were ready for a Detroit Tigers game after a few hours of sleep.
The best part about the Tigers ballpark was the Ferris wheel where the carriages were shaped as baseballs. I indulged myself in a ride.










After the Tigers won, we headed to Ohio to spend the night. The next day, we dropped Listmaker off in Detroit where he continued his baseball trip, while Stone Groove and I headed back to Maryland so Stone Groove could sleep in his little bed.

Baseball trip '06 is over. What will baseball trip '07 bring? (If Stone Groove can handle it)
