Fish vs Twins

Batting practice at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, FL.


Just polished off some mahimahi tacos and sitting in the shade. Clear skies, 72 degrees in the shade, light breeze. Place is not sold out.

Oh noooo!! Found out that the new Marlins owner hates aqua and is replacing team colors with colors of the rainbow. I wish I had purchased an aqua cap before the changeover.




After a sedate 5 innings, Twins' Pavano lost his groove and gave up 3 to the Fish. The Marlins had Johnson pitching for them and though started shakey, he settled down and kept the Twins scoreless.



After the 5th, we moved to our real seats, just behind the Fish dugout.

All around us were young men on spring break, talking about the snow they left behind.

Some good hits by Twins' Nishioka, who left after 5 innings, trailed by translator.

The real season is almost here!
