Sleepless Week on Horizon

[kevin_standlee]

The week of September 14 is looking like one in which I won't get a lot of sleep or be terribly productive. For September 13, I have a jury duty notice -- I won't know until the night before whether I actually have to show up or not. September 15 is the group outing to Spamalot in San Jose. September 16 I have a ticket to the Giants-Rockies game (likely to have significant playoff implications) purchased with a gift card received from Holiday Inn as a premium for enough stays -- essentially I earned a game ticket by staying at the Holiday Inn Select for Anticipation. But that's two late nights in a row that week, which is likely to have me a little zombie-like that week. In retrospect, I probably should have used the gift card on a different game, but the number of significant home games left this season isn't large, and the prices of games against the Dodgers (previous weekend) are significantly higher than the midweek game I booked. Thanks to the gift card, I have a seat in lower box section 107 -- quite a premium seat roughly looking down on first base. I've never been in such a high-rent district before.

Kevin: "You should stay outside on this guy. He pulls well to left field and the wind is blowing out that way. Cut fastball and the slider on two strikes."

Tim Lincecum: "Are you the new pitching coach?"

Kevin: "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night."

Actually, at this point, I think all of the games are significant now.

(And who'd have thought I'd ever be rooting for that Dodger scum, Brad Penny?)

Here's a video for you to see before the game:

I wish the Orioles were in a pennant race. Enjoy the nice tickets. I have sat in a premium seat and they have great views.
