The Phillies played the Minnesota Twins today and lost 4-2. The Phillies started what is most likely ther opening day lineup. They started strong, scoring two runs in the first inning then failed to score any more runs, leaving players on base and making several poor defensive plays and base running gaffs. Their pitcher did O.K. for three innings then gave up four runs by a home run and some poor defensive play. By the 5th inning, that was it for scoring for the game. There are not too many spring training games left and they still have a lot of work to do if they are going to be competitive when the season starts.
The weather today was almost perfect. The temperature was in the low 80's with a little breeze. Some scattered thundershowers came through later in the day but missed us on the way by.
We ate dinner in the RV tonight. I cooked steaks on the grill and we tried some early season Florida corn on the cob. The corn was not very good but the rib eye steaks were fine. We also made some sangria that also turned out O.K.
No baseball for two days. The plan for tomorrow is to visit a nature preserve in Largo (just south of here) then head over to the beach for dinner at the Columbia Restaurant at Sand Key. The plan for Saturday is to take the ferry over to Caladesi Island for a little beach time.
We have 4 more games to go before we leave for home on April 1st.
