Game Day Pictures: Braves vs Astros 8-3-12

Cousin Catherine was FINALLY home from her summer job, and obviously we needed to go to a Braves game as soon as possible. And because it was Star Wars night (and somehow she's never seen Star Wars??) there were a lot of festivities.

Batting practice pictures first, as usual. This might be my last weekday beepee for a while! Sad.

The first picture I took. I love it when Freddie comes to the outfield, and I love it when they wear their hats funny!

Socks Up for beepee. :)

I'm hearing Ming Ming from Wonder Pets singing, "This is sewious!" ...I've done a lot of preschool babysitting lately, y'all.

EO looks so white in this group. :)

Did I mention I like beepee socks up? I do. I SO wish I could go to next Monday's Socks Up game but it's my brother's birthday and I'm sure he'll have plans for us.

sewious Kimmie.

Wait, what? That's it? That was a *really* short beepee.

1. They must not be flying off the shelves.
2. I love all these pics of the boys.
3. I wish this hadn't been up next to the ceiling so I could have seen the pics better. :)

I took so few pictures of Star Wars day. I'm kinda over it, and I like Star Wars.

Much happier playing Closest to the Pin than dealing with squealing fans in the outfield.

Mac :)

There was a lot of stretching.

Fraternizing with former Brave Jordan Schafer, whose shoes were super-shiny.

Jose Altuve's listed height is 5'5". That makes Freddie, what, a foot taller?

If you haven't seen How Many Altuves, you should go there. Soon. :)

watching the jumbotron

Tossing sunflower seeds in a cup. Catherine cheered when he made one.

Then she used my camera when Luis started stretching. Sometimes I wonder how guys who were always starters deal with a bullpen placement in the majors. They have to be pretty bored at first.

Same as last year. Tired.

Catherine caught EO giving himself a BSE.

There was maybe going to be a maybe fight. Eddie opened the bullpen door in case they all needed to run out. ;)

MattE's ready to go too.

Here's what happened:

On Quick Pitch they explained that the way Prado was waggling his bat, Armando couldn't see his catcher's signs. and they yelled a little. My favorite part about this is the ump clearly doesn't understand what they're saying to each other. No habla español, claramente.
