Angels Vs. Rangers

On Sunday afternoon, we went to the Angels game. They were playing the Rangers--our old home team. This is a picture of the stadium taken from the parking lot.

Here is a closer view.

This picture of Raul, Audra and Pat makes me laugh because it looks like Pat is just some stranger who jumped into the picture.

The line for beer (a ballpark necessity even at $12) was really long. When it was finally Pat's turn the National Anthem started, and the woman wouldn't sell him a beer until it was over. Raul had already gotten his beer, but not before being carded (at 30, he is a young pup). Pat asked the girl if she wanted to see his ID, and she asked "Are you over 40?" He said "yes," and she said she didn't need to see it. He was offended!

Our seats were very good but, as the afternoon wore on, it got hotter and hotter.

Raul got bored and started taking close up pictures of everyone.

There were some pitching changes eventually.

The Rangers led for most of the game but the Angels had a chance to rally (RALLY MONKEY) in the eighth. I thought Mark Teixeira, who was with Texas when we lived there, would come through but, alas, no luck. The Rangers won the game by a run or two. In the end, it didn't much matter because the Angels are in first place by something like 16 or 17 games.
