OMGYANKEES

I went to the game tonight and had a lot of fun with my camera. Click on Matsui-san to see more Yankees.



I had a single ticket to tonight's game and ended up sitting next to a guy who was a Phillies minor leaguer in the early 90's. He roomed with Kevin Stocker. Insane. He was there with another guy who was a huge baseball trivia buff. Needless to say, I had an absolute blast talking to these two and watching the Mariners win. AN ABSOLUTE BLAST.

Awesome. Glad you had a great time.

Uhm, D... The pictures are all titled, "Mariners vs. A's"

Wow, nice photos! What sort of lens did you use?

Awesome pictures! Thanks for posting them.

(P.S. Go Mariners today through Sunday)

We'll call that "Deanna using Photothumb at 3am and forgetting to relabel the indiv caption". Fixed, I hope.

But did you LIKE THE PICTURES GODDAMNIT? :)

this one, 70-300 4-5.6 G. It's not ideal for night shooting but I have a lot of fun with it before the sun goes down.

I own the Yankees :)

Great ones. And I'm again envious of being able to shoot photos of players without a big-ass net in my face.

Also, man, that Matsui guy has the most grotesque ears evarrrr.

The bullpen ones usually have a big-ass fence in my face, which is why the ones of Washburn are kinda unfocused.

Is the net really up EVERYWHERE? Or just in the infield? I don't remember nets in the outfield, but I've never sat in the infield in Japan anywhere...

They don't have them up in the outfield, of course, but they're all the way down the baselines, well into short right and left. And they're a good 4m high at the Nagoya Dome. Quite frustrating.

The pictures are actually quite spectacular.

Awesome pictures! I like the one of Randy Johnson staring over his glove. It looks like he's looking right at you. Then again, maybe I just like that one because he's covering his face.

The Yankees are actually quite spectacular. :) I was not previously aware that Mo Rivera had any personality.

Ugh.

Oh, and crap, I get on a plane in like 6 days, should be in Nagoya somewhere in a week and a half, maybe we should actually figure some stuff out (though it can wait till I get there in theory)

Oddly, that was my friend Paul's favorite too. Dunno why. I was actually worried that the shots with no face and all glove were BAD shots in the past (I've got several others of pitchers like that)

Oh, and he WAS looking right at me, he just didn't know it. No, seriously. Did I ever show you the holes in the wall at the Bullpen Tavern, where you can watch the guys warm up? I just stuck my camera lens into one of the holes.
