Astros versus Giants

On Monday, Moose, Heather, and I went to see the Astros battle the San Francisco Giants. It was also a chance to see major league baseball history. Luckily we didn't see the tainted homerun history. We did sit in the zone that would be the location of that history making hit. It was a dismal game for the Astros as they were rocked 10-1. Did see a grand slam, but that wasn't my first time to see a grand slam. But it was neat to see Brad Ausmus playing second base and Andy Pettitte as a pinch hitter. But that was about it...not much else to cheer about. I'll leave you with a few pictures that i took with my Canon S2 IS. By the way, if you are looking for a quality digital camera, I recommend Canon!!


Here's a wide angle shot of our view.


Here's Brad Ausmus, the regular catcher, playing second base.


Here's Andy Pettitte doing a little pinch hitting.


That looks like a 4-seam fastball grip. Pretty impressive to be able to see the grip from where we were.


Here are a few of the signs that were floating around the stadium in reference to Barriod Bonds, er Nancy Bonds, er Barry Bonds.
