Tropicana Field gets REALLY LOUD when it's actually full. Game 1 of the #MLB #ALDS is in the books, and @raysbaseball.com come out victorious against @yankees.com If you love pitching battles, this was a hell of a game to be at.
It's Tropicana Field in beautiful downtown St Petersburg FL, with over 40,000 very loud fans packed in there.

It's based on their original (1998-2000) road uniforms, but they're not exactly alike.

Primary elections today. I'm not registered with either major party, and my state has closed primaries. But I still had judges, city councillors, and school board members to vote for, so you bet your ass I did it.

All I was trying to do was remove the battery from this @frame.work board (an 11th-gen Intel board for the Framework 13), and… I guess that solder wasn't super strong. Oh, bother.

The guy in the blue shirt had the aisle seat in my row. After landing, he bolted out of his seat to get as far up toward the front as possible. Dude… we were in fucking row 31. You're not going anywhere. Now you're inconveniencing everyone in rows 29 & 30. Sit your ass down.

It's a nice feeling when you go to a restaurant, and not only do they immediately know your drink, they also know to just bring it in a big-ass stein so they don't have to keep coming back to refill it.

When one wanders into a small store that specializes in British foods, and one spots Irn-Bru in the refrigerator, one immediately thinks of The @samferguson.bsky.social. As one does.
It's a bottle of Irn-Bru.

A part of my #scorecard from Saturday's Marlins / Rays #baseball game, featuring an unfortunately disasterous 10th inning where the Fish scored 8 runs, having scored only 2 in the previous 9 innings. There's always something new to see when you go to the ballpark. 😂 I blame @backstop.bsky.social
Do you see this madness‽ 10 hitters (plus the runner), 6 hits, 2 walks, and 8 runs scored. Hunter Bigge looked shell shocked out there, and he just had to wear it. Madness!

Still haven't found any pre-2004 #baseball ticket stubs I might have hanging around here (though 2004 is really when I started going regularly). Meanwhile, I'm still stumbling across pictures/memories/scorecards for other #MLB ballgames I've attended, and adding. theballparkwitness.com/u/the_peter
A profile car from theballparkwitness.com for me, with the username of the_peter, showing a recorded 427 Major League Baseball games attended over 23 season. It shows 24 ballparks (not entirely accurate, and perhaps unintentionally misleading, since the same park will get counted multiple times under different names and it also includes Spring Training facilities), 893 home runs seen, and cites Evan Longoria as my "most seen batter".

Oh, jeez… so much more wasted space. I don't think it looks terrible from a strictly aesthetic perspective. It's just… very inefficient.

Finally back at Tropicana Field for today's @raysbaseball.com home opener vs the Chicago Cubs. I'm looking forward to a #baseball season that's NOT in the humid, sweltering Florida sun. And, as a bonus, the Rays actually managed to win today! #RaysUp

Shout-out to Penzeys Spices, because some nights the best you can manage to make yourself do for dinner is throw a frozen pizza in the oven, and their Frozen Pizza Seasoning blend makes that option so much more palatable. And, as a company, they're still vocally anti-fascist.

I bet it's a lot nicer than whatever you're doing at work.

I like finding random #cats. Or, rather, when random cats find me. Though in this case, it was @spoiledprincess.bsky.social that got found by this little cutie. Of course, a domestic cat still shouldn't be allowed to roam freely outside, but at least she was friendly and personable.
