This shot of the Big A behind the Budweiser Patio is typically the back drop of my seats. I spend most games in Section 241 in Right Field. The past few years I had multi-game packages in that area. I love siting in Right Field, especially that section, because you don't have to shift your head or tweak your neck and back to watch the game. But this isn't where I sat last night. I took my daughter, Lily to the game last night. At 5 years of age, I've raised her right, she's a true Angels fan. She was excited to receive her Rally Monkey Lunch Box. We approach the ticket booth, our attendance to this game was planned at the last minute. There was a guy standing in line in front of us. He asks me, "You buying tickets to the game?" It was at this point I noticed two tickets in his hands. I've bought tickets once before like this, great deal on great seats, but today I had no cash. I explain to the guy, "I don't have any cash." To my shock and probably awe, the kind gentleman says "No, I'm not selling them. I'm giving them away. Their yours. You'll love them, 9 rows back on the third base side." Any minute I half expected Ashton Kutcher to jump out, so after another thanks, we worked our way to the entrance. No Ashton, no Punk, the tickets were good. And the seats were even better. And it seems the positive Karma this gentleman gave would pay it forward to the Angels.
Weaver plays the role of stopper, Matsui wins the game and I get free stuff, how much better time can you have at an Angel Game. We took our seats right shortly after the National Anthem. I got a few shots of the field, nothing pro status, but fun all the same. I'll be posting these on the Diamond Aces fan page on facebook. I have to be honest. I missed most of the game, because my daughter wanted to get a photo with the Rally Monkey. It was a nice effort, but failed in the execution. Did watch Weaver go a couple of innings looking perfect. Then thanks to the free tickets, got a free SOBET Life Water, or what my daughter calls, Lizard Juice. We spent the next three innings waiting to see the Rally Monkey. Finally we sat down at the top of the eight. Shields doesn't look like the old Shields, maybe its a timing issue, maybe he needs more time, but he wasn't the Shields of 2008. Rodney made a case for himself to get some starts closing. He looked un-hit-able. Then we got to see Matsui make the As pay for walking Torii Hunter, after the awesome double by Abreu. Lily liked the Rally Monkey dancing and then Godzilla Dancing. I liked the Angels not going 1-5 to start the season. We both came home happy!
