Opening Day at JRS

On Tuesday, Jsprt06 and I decided to head down to Dolphin Stadium to support our favorite team on Opening Day.
The decision was spur of the moment, as all our expeditions to Marlins games are. The conversation went something like this...
Colombo: "Dude, Opening Day tomorrow?"
Jsprt: "What about it?"
Colombo: "Wanna go?"
Jsprt: "Hell yeah. Don't you have a track meet?"
Colombo: "Yeah, I don't care. It's a stupid B.S. meet. I'll support my baseball team over my track team."
Followed by trying to find the best seats for cheap.

Star-divide


Jsprt and I arrive outside the stadium. As you can see, Jsprt is excited to get in there and see our new, biggest in the pros H.D. screen. I mean the Marlins.


I snapped a picture of some relievers. That's all the attention I paid to them all game.


The stadium looked pretty packed.


I was kind of worried that my ichthyomancy pick would be too low.


Jsprt said annoucnced attendance would be 34,000 or so. I said 35,000.
Here, you can also see the players taking the field. Mainly Jeremy Hermida coming out to our sweet right field seats.


As the game started, everyone got behind Sergio Mitre as he made short work of the Padres in the first.


Even though we got an L, Jsprt and I still had a good time at Opening Day. Plus we got those sweet visors.

GO MARLINS!

I don't know about that
but I managed to clean it up okay...

It took me a minute to figure it out, but thankfully I didn't screw it up too bad before I got it right.

Take a look at that face, people.
THAT is the face of our Ichthyomancy leader.

We can't have that, I tell you!!!

I mean - better him than Jsprt, but come on...

Heh.

Anyway - again... thanks for the pics, guys!

Thank YOU for getting the pictures displayed all nice and proper.
