Post Ike but no Post Season

This month was supposed to be a grand baseball month. Unfortunately I had tickets to the Sept 12th game which was cancelled because of hurricane Ike. And our poor boys took things rough for a while. I myself didn't get power back for two weeks but during that time I spent a weekend in Atlanta and got to take in a game of course! And what's the end of the season without the last game?

I was so torn in this game. The Mets are my team away from home but we really needed the Braves to win. And there was an ungodly number of pitching changes. The game dragged on forever. I don't think I've ever gotten back from a game past 11. Aside from "the chop", Braves fans didn't seem too enthusiastic. Then again the Mets were quite often kicking their butts.

This game was the make-up for me since the 12th was cancelled. The 12th was going to be my birthday celebration game and being the fangirl that I am, I had suggested we sit in right field so I could cheer on Pence nearby. So I am unashamed to admit there is a lot of Pence art on this page. That's what he gets for being close up right?

At today's game I also managed to get some new autographs! #50, Arias, a new pitcher; #15, Cooper, the manager; and #25, Cruz himself! I didn't have sketches of any of them (one of the reasons why I sketched Cruz real fast today) but I did ask Coop if they needed some art in the dugout. He didn't respond but oh well.

I doubt I'll get much art done over the post season so I'll see you at spring training!
