todays game!

First and foremost...Happy Birthday to my Cardinals partner in crime....my sister, Amy!  

The day started very wet!  It was raining so hard when we woke up this morning...oye! We checked every weather station, we did the the no rain dance - and guess what - it worked!  Game ON! We played the Baltimore Orioles today!  And we won in case you haven't seen the score yet.

When walking into the stadium I did a quick glance at the line up today....immediately I grabbed my sister's arm...YADI was in the line up.  Could this day get any better?  Did I say Carpenter was pitching today?  WOW!  

Their were several highpoints today....obviously the Cards winning was a bonus.  Seeing Yadi walk onto the field for the first time (well for me) was awesome...and the last one, which isn't even baseball related....my 4 year old niece looks at me and says - "Trust in Me"....with her fingers wiggling around her eyes.  We watched Jungle Book the night before - she was singing the song from the snake.

Great day!  More will be reported later - I'm about to enjoy some sushi...IN FLORIDA!

Ummmm. We have a problem.

I have 4 tickets to today's game...which starts in 10 minutes. I am still in DC! While on the runway during our take-off ..... there was a loud bang and then everything just sort of shut down. They turned us back to the airport. and we sat. Then they told us to get off the plane, but stay in the boarding areas. so we sat. Then they told us that they were going to try and fix the plane. 30 minutes later, they cancelled our flight.

so now, 150 passengers are all trying to get out of DC to get to warm sunny florida. We got another flight out later this afternoon.....but I still have 4 tickets to the game that I can't use. AND....my dear sister has just txt'd me to say she has LANDED in West Palm Beach. so not only has this incident ruined my day, it's now going to ruin her day too.....because we were supposed to pick her up and go to the game TOGETHER.

....so, here's to hoping that nothing else goes wrong today in our trek south.

See you in Jupiter!

This Saturday! I've been listening to MLB's Gameday Audio for the past two weeks. The weather report looks glorious. We've started to pack. Now we just need to get Yadi back to play for STL....(nothing against the Puerto Rican team, I'm just being a little self-centered at this point!)
