Ah, back in Fountain City. Truth be told, I enjoy coming here. I LOVE my client here and I dumbed into a hotel in an old part of the city with plenty of local (e.g., non-chain) places to hang. Being the baseball fan that I am, I went to the Royals-Mariners game tonight.
Usually when I'm here, the Royals are out of town. But, they were home tonight and it was a beautiful night to be outside. Of course, both teams are mired in last place, so it was kind of a glorified AAA game. However, I hopped in the car (a Dodge Charger) picked up a cheap ticket in the parking lot and caught the game.
The first thing you notice at the stadium is the HUGE FUCKING scoreboard in center field. Very bright, great quality and plenty of numbers for the stats/fantasy geeks. The next thing you notice is that Royals management clearly wasn't envisioning making the playoffs this year as they are doing major construction everywhere in the stadium...outfield, seats, everywhere. True to the city's name, the water shows in the outfield were pretty cool and well lit. If you looked hard enough, you could find Boulevard beer on tap. Oh, and the Royals won 5-2.
I actually have a light day tomorrow. Maybe I'll be able to get out early enough to check out either the Negro Baseball or American Jazz museums in town. Either way, I've got a non-stop home (ilu, Southwest) so I'll get to tuck the HB into bed.
