Alright, so it was a crazy night. The ballpark is gorgeous and it still hasn’t phased me that it is our new home. Even as I walked around and saw the sights, it still didn’t click that the Vet was gone. Only when I see pictures or videos of the Vet do I really miss it. Other than that, out of sight, out of mind. Now to the game. I got home at 2:10ish. At about 2:05 the game was finally called due to rain. It was the 3rd rain delay and it only lasted about as long as it took us to get to the car and drive home, so probably about 30 minutes. The 2nd rain delay was probably about an hour, and the 1st rain delay was probably closer to 2 hours. Unbelievable. I couldn’t believe that they weren’t calling the game. Especially during the 2nd delay which was the longest 7th inning stretch probably in the history of ever. I mean there were probably close to 4 hours of rain delays and they still didn’t even finish the game. Wagner never got to get a save. He threw like 3 warmup pitches before the top of the 9th and then the rain just started coming down again. Oh well, I’ll get to see them again on Thursday when I’m in my Mayor’s Box seats. That’s gonna be the coolest. As for the actual gameplay, Thome hit his 400th homerun at his first at bat. It was a shot to straightaway centerfield so I got nothing. That is because Ken Griffey Jr. once again did not play when I went to see him. This is like the billionth time he didn’t play at a game I went to see him at. I got the worst luck I guess. I heard a few different stories about why he didn’t play from Griffey not wanting to show up Thome’s big night, to the more believable they wanted Griffey to hit his 500th at home in Cincy. Whatever. I’ll forgive him. I guess I’ll just never get to see him play. All I know is this should probably be a memorable night as it was my first night in Citizen’s Bank Park, Thome hit his 400th homerun and I was at the park from 5:00PM – 1:30AM… a hell of a long time.
