May Gray but Cards Win the Day

[Jared]: Blogs always begin with the best of intentions.  And then life gets boring for a few weeks, and suddenly you haven't posted in ages.  Sorry about that.

We did have a bit of fun this week though.  We caught two Cardinals games at Petco.  Tuesday night's game was a relatively quiet one.  Adam Wainwright struck out twelve and only gave up one run over 7 innings, and yet had to take the loss because the Cardinal offense wasted opportunity after opportunity.  We did get to see some incredible defensive plays though, particularly Ryan Ludwick's catch at (into) the wall.

Thursday afternoon's game was significantly more enjoyable.  The slumping Cardinal offense broke out of their funk.  Plus we got to see a couple of home runs.  Not to mention, it was just a beautiful afternoon in San Diego.  Sunny and 70...well, for most of the game...

Prior to moving to San Diego, I had never heard of the phenomena known as "May Gray" (see also: June Gloom).  Essentially, during May and June in San Diego, the marine layer moves inland and leads to gray skies and cool temperatures.  It's actually quite nice in my opinion, but most San Diegans prefer the sun.  Thursday afternoon's game was a picture perfect portrayal of May Gray...

In other news, my company is moving to a new office this weekend. Starting Tuesday I'll be walking to work!

Stick around blog readers, June is going to be a busy month!
