After a leisurely day around the house, I’ll give you one guess about where we went this evening. <\/p>\n

OK, I’ll give you a second guess about where we went this evening. You’re sure to get it from here.<\/p>\n

Thursday night is theme night, I guess. And it was also inexpensive ticket night. So we semi-spontaneously went across the river and spent some time at Citizens Bank Park. We watched the great Shoehei Ohtani go 0-4 and saw Aaron Nola scatter four hits and two walks across six innings as the homestanding team beat the not-very-well-liked visitors 4-0. Brandon Marsh hit a home run and charted a triple to right, Trea Turner recorded his sixth home run in nine games. And just after I took that large photo (seriously, click it, it’ll open in a new window and you can scroll around) Kyle Schwarber hit a baseball a very long distance, as he frequently does. <\/p>\n

The good guys won, 5-1<\/a>. It was a series sweep. In a related story, after a two-inning battle I defeated the sunscreen that oozed into my left eye.<\/p>\n

Did you notice the new graphic up there? The blue one? I’m updating a few of those as I go. And, this evening, as we were leaving the park, I had the opportunity to get a nice skyline of the city. <\/p>\n

I was, of course, photobombed. <\/p>\n

It was a delightful night over the river. Except for the sunscreen incident. <\/p>\n

We’ll be back over there in a few weeks. Not eager to repeat the same mistake, I’ll be sure to have a new skin protection strategy by then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
