Triple A Fun

I miss going to Round Rock Express games. Sure, the Nats are great. In fact, going to games last year was sort of like watching a minor league team play. This year, well, it's more complicated.

But Express games were always a joy, and were exactly what a baseball game should be: fun. Thirsty Thursday's beer specials and a stadium that doesn't have a bad seat to it made for some great summer nights north of Austin, Texas. And the guys who are playing aren't prima donnas or whiners. These are guys who are out to do two things: Make a career out of playing a game they love and have fun doing it.

Krauthammer's right, "You get there and the twilight's gleaming, the popcorn's popping, the kids're romping and everyone's happy." And if Rojo Johnson's pitching, all the better.
