Today was a wild one - both at the game and weather-wise.
The Phillies new high-priced pitcher, Jake Arrieta, made his Phillies debute. He was a late acquisition and this was his first spring training game. He only pitched two innings and gave up 2 runs and three hits. The game was another "clunker" as they lost to the Detroit Tigers 6-2. The game was also marred by a series of ejections by the umpire who perceived that several players who were hit by pitched balls were thrown at on purpose. Everone later denied trying to hit anyone on purpose but the umpire thought otherwise.
The other part of today's game experience was the weather. It was clear but windy (right at us out of the NNW) and the temperature never got above 63 degrees. That doesn't sound too bad compared to what others are experiening at the moment, but for here, that is cold. We were bundled up pretty good but we only lasted to the 7th inning then left.
After a trip to Whole Foods in search of dried peaches (they didn't have any), we decided to head back to the RV rather than going over to the coast for dinner and a sunset as planned. Plan B was Cracker Barrel for a hearty and delicious dinner of solid comfort food.
We have two games to go - Sunday and next Tuesday. We also still have a few other things we want to do around here before leaving on Thursday for Atlanta to visit our son Kevin on the way home.
