Looking at Pictures of the Futures
by W.H.
All-Star week is in St. Louis and Sporty has shown up to collect souvenir beverage containers. While we're at it we'll be looking at a few pictures of the action. And by action, we mean not the game. There was a 4-hour rain delay, it provided much more entertainment than the actual festivities on the diamond. Sure, Neftali Perez is a beast on the mound, so good in fact that the radar gun wouldn't even function. He broke Brett Wallace's bat with his Fireball. Later Wallace countered with his "Eye of Tiger" move and drew a 10 pitch walk. Anyway, here we are at the top of Busch Stadium. Seriously, what kind of tickets do you think we can afford at this online establishment?
Major League Baseball warned us about the inclement weather after we reached the stadium. Yeah uh.. it doesn't look that bad. 4 hour rain delay, that's nothing. More souvenir cups for the collection. Over the left field fence is the rave tent and celebrity cocaine wagon. I wonder what sponsor wanted to slap their name on that?
Excessive rain delays can cause people to exhibit strange cranial accessories, like tacos...
... or plastic bags. This guy's doing his best David Carradine impression.... What, too soon? How about Jonathan Brandis, that's had time to settle down.
It's good to know that these Futures have a good sense of humor. Playing frisbee during the rain delay? Memories of a young Greg Maddux sliding on the tarp are brought to mind.
These guys do have the decency to take their cleats off before ruining the Busch Stadium tarp. You've got a good head on your shoulder Lincoln, too bad it can't find you a way out of the Pirates organization.
Few people realize that the River Des Peres runs through Busch Stadium. It smells better there too. Like stale Budweiser and expired hot dogs.
Somebody get this guy some flubber. Seriously, I get why he needs these shoes because I wouldn't want to stand by that camera for 6 hours straight. But I really just want to take a pair of those kicks to the gym.
Tensions run high when beer vendors declare "Last Call" in the 3rd inning, only to return in the 7th and cry wolf once more. These gentlemen seated next to us were upset about the deception, having been forced to buy 5 beers apiece in the 3rd, but from a business perspective I can't see the down side to the "Last Call" strategy. The guy who runs "Everything Must Go" would agree.
Erin Andrews is in the purple dress. It took a while to figure out why some chick was trudging around a rain soaked field barefoot in a dress. She must have wandered over from the rave tent.
Gratuitous Jenna Fischer shot. The celebrity game was highlighted by Nelly's home run and diving catch. Andy Richter controlled the universe and hit a home run. Not a lot of people stuck around for the game, alcohol sales had concluded. Somebody declared "Last Call" and meant it.
