Spring Training Game--Orioles vs Rays

Harlock and I got to watch the spring opener for the Orioles in their new training stadium, Ed Smith Stadium. We went cheering for our team, the Rays, and while they lost...well got massacred really with the final score being 12-6 it was a fabulous day.

The first pitch.

Evan Longoria practicing before the start of the game.

Sean Rodriguez at bat. I love this man. He's a great player and pretty versatile

. 

Rodriguez is also capable of stealing second! 

Which is great since the Rays lost Crawford to the Red Sox.

And Sonnastine. Oh, Sonnastine...he gave up 5 homeruns in the first two innings

and from there the entire game went downhill. He really should 

just stick to relief and not starter.

I think for this photo you'll need to look at it in full view to see all the action.

There's a man rounding third gunning for home and a play

at second base.

 Pitching change. 

And good ole Coach Maddon.

I can't wait to see a game at Tropicana! I want to try and make a game at Ed Smith when they play the Red Sox and hopefully will be able to do that.
