Grasshoppers Day Game

Desmond and I went to the day game the Grasshoppers played today. It seemed like the perfect time. His school finished last Friday, but public school doesn't finish until this Friday. We sat in the general admission section out in left field for a few innings. The whole time we were out there, Desmond kept telling me he wanted to go to the playground in right field. Luckily, he had a pepsi and a snow cone and I told him he had to finish one of them before we left the outfield. The playground wasn't crowded w/ kids like the last time we went, so he got to climb around the ropes w/o any trouble. It started to rain so we took cover, but Desmond decided he wanted to run around the empty seats. He had a rain coat on so I didn't worry about it too much. I got down to the end of the covered section and some Grasshopper employees were wondering who let that kid run by himself out in the seats. I assured them he was under strict supervision, but the half empty beer in my hand may have given them second thoughts. This must have been the first rain delay of the season b/c the grounds crew started unrolling the infield tarp way too early in right field. When it was fully opened the tarp covered the pitcher's mound but not home plate or the 3rd base area. It left a soggy mess in those places and unless they restart it as a night game, I was pretty sure the game was over. You can check here to find out otherwise.
