The Chicken Dance at Raley Field


Today's game was one of the last of the season that will be on a weekend and during the day. There are still some "business person's" games at 11:35 but the Sunday at 1:05 become brutal in June - today was no exception. It was over 90° and a bit humid. Our seats are directly in the sun.

What made the game even worse was the lack of energy in the Cats. Tacoma went out early and we simply looked sloppy - our hitting was lackluster and so was our fielding. Tacoma is playing barely .500 ball but you could not tell it from the last three games. Let's hope they close out this series with a rouser tomorrow. In today's game there were 5 homers (two for us - both singles) but theirs brought in three in the first. The rest of the game went like that. At least tomorrow it will be baseball bingo.

In the bottom of the sixth they had the Chicken Dance break - which I think is rather silly. We did our own variation of the dance by chickening out on the heat.
