Hey there folks. The second half of the season starts today with an important beginning to a 5 game set here in Calgary. Travel was good yesterday. I slept on both legs of the trip (shuttle to San Francisco/plane to Calgary) and it was a quick one. Got my own row of seats on the airplane as well.
There's a look at the stadium above. Foothills Stadium. It's right next door to McMahon Stadium, the home of the Canadian Football League's Calgary Stampeders. Tomorrow we have a special matinee start, as there is a football game tomorrow at 7pm as well.
You can see the pressbox in the picture. The box hangs over the seats, and from the booth here, I am literally right on top of the action. Really cool. Feels like what I imagine Wrigley Field's press box is like. However, if I happen to fall out of the booth...it might be the end.
Calgary's more expensive than I would've thought. Big story in today's newspaper on how the Canadian Loonie has never been stronger against the US dollar. Exchange rate of $1.08....great. And did you know...Taco Bell serves french fries??? Me neither....
Here's the lineups. Tonight's first pitch is at 6:05 PST. Tomorrow's matinee will begin at 1:35 PST....
