A Little Game in the Big City

I attended both of the ballgames the White Sox played at home last weekend. Saturday's was a solid effort by the team and that ran my mark to 7-0. That is 7-0 on games that are not played on Sunday.

I also saw Sunday's game. It wasn't exactly crisply played, but it was close. Here's some shots from the action:



Afternoon at the Park


Safe at Second

It wasn't particularly warm (about 70 degrees), but felt like summer in the bright sunshine.

By the late innings, the park began to clear out despite the close score. In fact, Sox were down one in the ninth and had the tying run at second.



Leftfield Stands in the 9th

Though the Sox came up short, running my record to games I've attended on Sunday to 0-4. You could say it's just luck, but I'm starting to think the Sunday results are statistically relevant.

Afterwards, I took some shots on the ramp outside the park. Dozens of people regularly take photos of the scene to catch a view of downtown Chicago.



Cutie

I've heard some discussion that the park was oriented east-southeast for positive Feng shui. But if the park was oriented 90 degrees counterclockwise, this would be the backdrop for leftfield:



Skyline

And that's simply gorgeous.
