I went to an Angels game last week. Blizzard was having a company picnic of sorts and my friend invited me to go. Yay free food! The asian inside of me is pleased.

Not only were our Angels (because the stadium announcer always says they are mine, so they are mine…ours) playing against the Mariners (Ichiro!) but Francisco Rodriguez was set on breaking the record for most saves in a season. Wooo.

Sorry about the sun. I told him to go away for a bit but he just wouldn’t listen.

A little better? There weren’t that many people in the beginning. Still about 10 minutes to go.

Ichiro throwing the ball.

Yeah, there was a security guard there between innings. Why? Does he think people are going to rush over to pants Ichiro? I wonder what he would say anyway “I am happy to have this opportunity. Not many baseball players get pants-ed. The stars have aligned. It is very special.” That’s so Ichiro.

Sigh…what am I doing here in this Angels stadium again? Just make it go away…

The peanut gallery. Actually they cheered for the Angels quite loudly. And then yelled Ichiro’s name a couple times. “Seeeeeeee no, Ichiro!!”

He was always doing something. Stretching, rolling out his ankles, squatting…

And the crowd went wild when he ran out of the bullpen. Standing up, waving arms. Every time he didn’t get a strike, the crowd went “aww…..” and when he did “yeeeeeeah!! Frankie!!”.

Heh….The only substantial video I have was when he pitched against Ichiro and he got a hit. Whoops.
