Baseball - Football - then more Baseball

Yesterday I was given 9 tickets to the Owlz baseball game. It was the second game of a 3 game championship series. (Pioneer league baseball) We took all the girls, Missy and Steve came with us. The girls had a good time, Emma had the best time of them all. We ended up spending $30 on consessions, which it's all that bad when you save $50 on the tickets. We ended up leaving in the 10th inning, it was getting cool outside, and the girls were tired. We listened to the rest of the game on the way home, it ended up going 13 innings, the Owlz won. (This meant they played again tonight, last night Tara was considering coming back tonight for the rubber match.)

This afternoon BYU absolutely destroyed UCLA 59 to 0. BYU did very little wrong, and a whole lot right. It was 42 to 0 at halftime. I felt bad for UCLA at t he point they tried a field goal, and missed. It was just sad. Not even the kicker had anything good happen. BYU hadn't really gotten any face time this year on in the national media, Tara's comment after the game was "Just watch, they will say BYU did so good because UCLA had a lot of injuries..." On SportsCenter tonight, the comment was "UCLA has a lot of injuries right now, but that isn't any excuse..." They were kind to BYU, but even if they keep winning, I don't see them getting a lot of airtime this year. It's hard to do when most of your games are shown on a regional conference television channel, not a lot of people can see the games. They do have some face time on ESPN.com right now, maybe if they beat USU by 80 in a couple of weeks...

During the football game, the lady from work who gave me the tickets to the baseball game called and asked if I wanted tickets to tonight's game. We ended up getting 5 tickets behind home plate. We took Emma, Ruth, and Anson. Drew ended up meeting us there. Anson lasted about half the game, the Owlz had 6 runs scored on them in the second inning, and were still losing when Drew and Anson left. We stayed the entire game, Emma and Ruth were waiting for the end of the 6th inning, when bottled pop became half off. They got root beer today. The Owlz scored 4 runs in the 8th inning, but still ended up losing the game. Emma seems to really like going to baseball games.
