Stupid rain
Oren and I drove down to Tacoma to see a Rainiers game. Jeff (Damienroc) was meeting us there. I also managed to go and meet up with some of the folks from Lookout Landing, formerly Leone For Third, one of the two top baseball blogs in Seattle. Jeff and Devin were there, and PositivePaul and PLU Tim and Mark, and Jon Wells and his wife. Jon Wells is cool because he edits the Grand Salami, which is that magazine you'll see people selling outside Safeco before Mariners games. And he gave me a free copy of the June issue :)
Anyway, we hung out a bit. I went down to the 51's dugout to see if I could catch Ryan Rupe and get him to sign my Nippon Ham Fighters yearbook from last year, but no dice, the pitchers hadn't come out yet...
...and they never really did, because it started raining around 7pm. And it didn't stop. Jeff and Oren and I sat around talking for like an hour and a half, which was kinda cool, but it kept raining and raining and raining, and eventually we gave up and left around 8:30pm.
(Guess what -- the game WASN'T rained out after all, they started the game around 9pm, and the Rainiers won, and Snelling hit a two-run homer, and I am sad I still haven't gotten to see him play this year)
Well, but we didn't know that. We went back to Jeff's apartment, and Eric showed up after a while, and we put Azumanga Daioh on the TV, and played some games... we played San Juan, and Uno, and Buried Treasure, and I forget what else. Wooko eventually woke up and came out to the living room for a bit but he looked and sounded pretty sick :( so we couldn't get him to play anything with us. So we went to Mory's for breakfast-like food after a while. I'd never been there before, and got an SOS or whatever, which was basically like, gravy with meat in it over hash browns, which was interesting.
And then I did the whole driving home thing. I wish Tacoma was like, closer, or at least had less obnoxious traffic. And I still want to go back to a Rainiers game, dammit! I wonder if I should try to make it to Saturday or Sunday's game... I also was sad because I wanted to see Norihiro Nakamura play. (He's on the 51s.) I did see him come out of the dugout... the main thing is, I just don't scuppering feel like driving back to Tacoma. Sigh.
