Arizona/Florida Trip - Day 37

We saw the “Bad Phillies” today.  They lost 16-4 with their best pitcher, Cole Hamels, giving up 5 runs in the first two innings.  On the brighter side, the weather remained great with a temperature of 80 degrees and little humidity under sunny skies.  We each had ballpark pizza for lunch (not bad) with a shared frozen lemonade followed by a beer and peanuts later in the game.

After the game we came back to the RV park, Judy had a short nap and then we ate a late dinner of leftovers from recent restaurant adventures.  Tomorrow is the big St. Patrick’s Day game against the Tampa Bay Rays.  There will be lots of green in the park, including the Phillies uniforms and a green beer option I am sure (and maybe even green hot dogs).  It should be a sell-out and a fun time in the park.  Possibly the Phillies will win – there is always hope.

My sister Eileen and her friend Linda will join us at the game tomorrow and we plan to go into Dunedin after the game to observe/participate in the St. Patrick's Day festivities centered around Flanagen's Irish Pub.
