Houston Trip

For those that pay too much attention to every FanPost that comes along, you might remember that my brother and I made a baseball trip last summer that stretched across much of the Midwest and included a handful of Padres games. This year we weren't so ambitious. Our one trip this year was a quick weekend trip to Houston. This was my 20th ballpark bagged and it marked my completion of the NL Central. So, even though I had to endure 2 Padre losses at my own expense at least I reached some ballpark bagging milestones. Okay, the intro's done, let's see what pictures I took.

Here's that train with Oranges that was apparently broke down.

Here's a scoreboard shot, with Correia apparently needing to inspect the grass for gophers. Oh, and Blummer!

Here's more Correia, with his arm in a weird position and then a big team meeting on the mound.

We go to see fireworks after the game, so I tried to get some shots of the dome opening from the same angle.

I was told to "set down" after that because the Houstonians behind me wanted to watch Jeff Keppinger's kid run the bases, so I gave up on my dome opening experiment.

That seems like a lot of pictures for one post. Well, since this is all day one, I'll put up a second post for day two. But first, here's an image of the bobblehead I was given for this game.
