The Spartan Goes to the Ballpark

So I got a second date and I took her to see the Astros play. Unfortunately, they lost 3-2 to the Rockies but it was an entertaining game nonetheless.
Here's Wandy Rodriguez, our starter. He didn't have a good day, it wasn't horrible but he was pulled after the fourth.
The train that goes along the left outfield wall:
This is where it started getting entertaining. Coach goes out to argue a bad call:
What had happened was one of the Astros hit a fly ball into centerfield and, to be fair, from the umps perspective it looked like the centerfield caught it with a nice diving catch. But I'm fairly certain, and the people in the rightfield stands agree
, he dropped it and picked it back up quickly enough to show the ump that the ump called the batter out. Well of course, coach argues the call and ends up getting ejected. That was the most ruckus I've ever seen at a baseball game. It was a little over the top, IMHO, but it didn't get out of control and if I'm honest about it, was kind of entertaining in a way.
But enough of that, I've got other pictures of the game but they're basically more pictures of the pitchers, since that's what interests me the most, so, here's a picture of me to prove that I was there.
