The Bullpen

The Cardinals came to town so .... I bought a family 4 pack which included tickets above the Cardinals' bullpen, 4 hot dogs, 4 sodas and parking...all for a mere $397.76! Just kidding, we were in ATL not at the new Yankee Stadium. Anyway, thought it would be fun sitting by the Cardinals' bullpen since one of the relievers, Kyle McClellan, went to Russell Elementary in Hazelwood (where kelsie and cameron went) and his dad owns the Fieldhouse where the kids took ball lessons. So...my family thought I did spend some serious $$ when we took the ELEVATOR (with an elevator operator) to the Clubhouse level. Personally I thought we were in the wrong place, but we weren't. So we did have a nice area to go to the restroom and our seats were pretty good -- right above the bullpen, as planned. Before the game, we saw Yadi warming Lohse up and then the game began. As you can see by the pics, we came prepared with some signs. Around the 5th inning or so, McClellan started stirring; we yelled down to him, he read the signs and gave a good wave. Then later, he entered the game. And we all went home. Well, ok, he lost the game, but at least we won 2 out of 3.
