July 5 Day 1 What did we do Monday Night? Watched the Pelicand get mercied...

The SS Seminole game left alot for us to build on. Solid pitching, great defense and the bats rally woke up. After getting back to the beach and a barbecue by the Master Bar B Q'er, Greg Z, the boys and dad headed off to catch the Myrtle Beach Pelicans game. The Pelicans as we later found out are the class "A" minor league affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. They were playing the Salem Red Sox. The stadium personnel were great, we ran into the group sales manager as we approached one of the ticket windows, Ten minutes later we had personalized tickets and off we went. Tonight was a bonus night as "Kids under 12 ate free" more soda, hit dogs and chips.

The evening was a cool 78 degrees, we had great seats that were already covered by the shade and the cool Carolina breeze made for a really pleasant evening. The attached link recaps the game tat was highlighted by Pelican errors, players crashing into each other and a play where the Sox scored 2 run on one passed ball. Kid named Clemens was on the mound for the Pelicans. We thought he was Roger's son until we bought a program into the 3rd inning. That was disappointing (and embarrassing) http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=4042987

We also discovered the Westfield Blue obnoxious fan tonight. Jared, hopped up on sugar, caffeine and the energy of the game did a great job of rooting the Pelicans on with all of the sayings and phrases he has heard from the coaches over the years.....

1. Here we go boys!
2. That's not you, thats not you!
3. Hit the cut off,

Jared lead the boys in a rousing rendition of lets go Pelicans after the Sox went up 10-2 on a grand slam so stirring aka obnoxious that the 4 tattooed red sox fans in front of us started chanting Grand Slam! Grand Slam! Grand Slam after every cadence that Jared called.

Youth Baseball is Great

We also ran into the SSi Seminoles at the game and had a good time chatting with them but in a precursor to our upcoming games, when the kids told the Seminoles that we played the Titans tomorrow, the comment that came back was, "The Titans? They're outrageous!" A team that just scored 18 runs on us, called our next opponent, Outrageous.
