White Sox 0 - Angels 3
read more of this entry »
This is already pretty far into the season, but today is the first day we are at the ballpark and actually sitting in our seats. These actual seats have been replaced since last year, and are the new forest green color, with a vented back (makes it look slats like an old-time seat), matching the other seats that were replaced last year. Now, the whole park is forest green - a wonderful look, something I've wanted for years. They also have another feature - the old blue seats faced directly straight out from the rows. The old seats actually faced the outfield from where we sit (down the 1st base line, out past first base, but before where the right-fielder would normally stand). The new seats, while still in rows facing outward (parallel to the concrete rows), are actually "canted" about 22 degrees toward the plate, giving a better view!
Be careful what you wish for - the seats are a smidge narrower to accommodate the tilt, and also there is slightly less leg room (which for us short people, isn't really a big deal).
Nice crowd tonight, too - 38,208, though a bit... strange. not paying attention, slow walking, stopping, not paying attention to people around them.
Too bad we lost again.

Wolves 4 - Admirals 1 - West Division Semifinal Game 2
read more of this entry »
What the hell are we doing in a building that is this cold? The weather FINALLY has just busted open... it was 83°F outside!!!! OK, it was a little windy, but it was hot! Well, maybe hot is a little strong.
The intensity was almost the same, but we just dominated again... OK, not really the same intensity, but sort of close... The Admirals Booster Club was back in the same place... confident that their team would take the series back...
No such luck. And yes, their one goal was going to happen with the way they were swarming the net.
Now, for a team that I wrote-off before the playoff, they lead a Best Of 7 series 2-0...
Have to watch getting too confident...

Wolves 3 - Admirals 2 - West Division Semifinal Game 1

So, after a year absence, it's back to Playoff hockey for the Wolves.
WOW.
I noticed the last time that we played the Admirals: The intensity of the play was so escalated. And no in the playoffs, we were able to see that first hand. Speed, scrappiness, always going after the puck, always trying to control. We SO outplayed the Admirals in the first two periods.
Now - third period? OK, different story. The energy level wasn't exactly the same. And then, they allowed a Penalty Shot (though we question on whether the penalty that happened really warranted the shot) which brought them to one goal of a tie...
Was SO enjoying the game though... I just hope they can keep this up.
Oh... and the added little... ummm... entertainment... the Admirals Booster Club was seated the next section over... yeah... they tried to cheer their team on... they were pretty cocky... but they were awfully quiet each time we scored...
