San Francisco Giants Baseball Game

In a fit of "All-Americaness", Siobhan and I went to a baseball game on Wednesday the 20th of July. It was a really nice day, perfect for a day at the ballpark!
The game is actually pretty slow going... pitch, strike, pitch, ball, pitch, ball, pitch strike, pitch strike, next batter and so on and so forth. It only gets going when a batter actually hits the ball (surprising how infrequent that is actually) and then it's all action for about 5-10 seconds while the batter runs around the bases and the fielders get the ball back to stop him making a home-run. The local team in San Francisco are the SF Giants so we were, of course, supporting them.... that could be why they lost :(
Their website is www.sfgiants.com if you'd like to take a look. In the meantime, here's some photos from the game (we had to be careful not to call it a match..... it's a ball game).
