happy birthday barry

i must say there is nothing quite like looking around at 42,000 other people whose chose not to work and instead enjoy a beautiful day at the ballpark. i headed out to the game with my friend gary who was coming from the airport with his girlfriend jen and her mom and younger sister who just got into town. jen ended up getting them bleacher seats and me and gary sat in the upper deck. it was super warm (as my poor red nose can attest) and it was one of the best games i've been to - jen et al ended up joining us for the last few innings, which included barry bonds gunning down a runner trying to score in the top of the 9th while we were tied 2-2 with the hated boys from arizona. barry was then the first batter in the bottom of the ninth, and the first pitch he saw he hit out of the park. we were going apeshit - barry came out of the dugout, did a tipped his hat to the crowd, and was off. did i mention it was barry's birthday today - what a way to do it.
