July 17, 2011 - Brewers at Rockies

Takashi Saito grew upset and distraught when a fan wouldn't stop yelling his name while he pitched. This outburst caused the whole section to yell his name as he pitched. A pretty funny moment at the ballpark.


Nyjer Morgan doing what he does.


The now-injured Richie Weeks got caught in a pickle between 3rd and home and did the right thing by going for it. Tagged out, but glory intact.

July 9, 2011 - US Women's Open - Round 2

Weather on Thursday and Friday pushed round 2 of the US Womens Open back to Friday and Saturday. I caught the end of Round 2 before I left for the day - and more weather pushed round three to Sunday morning.

Michelle Wie tees off on the 18th hole (her 9th on the day).

Day one of the US Women's Open was, for me, mostly about getting bearings, trial end error, and finding the right ladies to cover.

July 2, 2011 - Royals at Rockies

A bunch of awkward action. I didn't really see it until I put these all together, but it's strange how much awkward action I captured at this game.

Red hat day + good light + fans in the seats = I'm heading up into the stands to get an overhead view of the capacity crowd.

Fun game. I like extra innings and walk off hits.
