Tonight was the first time mama and papa had a date without Mimi since Christmas. Mimi is over at Blake's house for another sleepover.
A couple of days ago papa was able to get two free tickets to the Seattle Mariner's game for tonight. We were planning to see our China friends tonight at Trotter's but cancelled it for several reasons: 1) mama loves baseball (Still a Dodger fan) 2) free tickets to the clubhouse and box seats. You can't beat that.
The running joke in our family is that WHENEVER we went to a ball game and if papa would go to the bathroom or get refreshments, our team would score. On the other hand whenever he was watching the game, our team would lose. This almost happens every single time we went to a game. It was getting quite depressing for mama to watch her Dodgers lose everytime we went.
Tonight's game was the Seattle Mariners vs San Diego Padres. You guessed it. The Mariners were losing, Padres 2 and Mariners 1 that is until mama shared papa's curse with his co-workers (4 in all) and then papa went for dessert. What happened when papa was out you say? You got it! My man Ichiro scored a double hit to second base that tied the Mariners with the Padres! A short while later papa went to the bathroom and the Mariners scored 2 more runs. By now the score is 4 to 2 Mariners favor and everyone around us were laughing and jokingly telling papa to get out or leave. Poor, poor, poor papa. Ending score - Mariners 4 and Padres 2.
Last but not least, ir you look way in the back of the scoreboard picture, you can see the Space Needle. Also behind the scoreboard. what looks like a white bridge is actually QWest (Quest) field where our beloved Seahawks play.
